NB: There are 3 programs in Express Entry

Federal Skilled Worker (FSW) bit.ly/2Cvr2XZ
Canadian Experience Class (CEC) bit.ly/2T9P5XV
Federal skilled Trades (FST) bit.ly/39Rkh49

Check the one you are eligible for.

Plan, follow due process, be patient!

If you click the links above you will notice the differences in each of the sub-programs.

Basically,

FSW: For skilled workers with FOREIGN work experience
CEC: For skilled workers with CANADIAN experience
FST: For skilled workers qualified in selected skilled TRADES

Note this

I can hear someone asking how will I know which one to apply for?

As stated, if you don't have CANADIAN work experience, or in the selected skilled TRADES, then your option is Federal Skilled Worker (FSW).

FSW is what many people OUTSIDE Canada apply for. Pay attention to that.

All the best in your application.
