Question:

am I eligible?

Answer:

You must use the Come to Canada tool to check if you are eligible under Express Entry: http://www.cic.gc.ca/ctc-vac/ee-start.asp 
 
Provide answers to the questions and the tool will tell you if you are eligible or not. The basic eligibility criteria are as follows : 
 
1. You need to have your language test results ready (English or French) 
2. You need to have an ECA report for your academic degrees/diplomas if they were not obtained from Canada.  
3. You need to have at least one year continuous, full-time (at least 30 hours per week/1560 hours per year) or equivalent part-time experience in an occupation that is categorized under NOC 0, A or B in the past 10 years. 
4. You need to have unfettered access to sufficient funds (that are unencumbered) depending on your family size (for the case in point here, “dependents” include your spouse and your dependent children). This money may not be borrowed from another person.
