Yes, you can apply for Express Entry without a job offer. Many candidates are invited to apply for Permanent Residence solely based on their CRS score, which factors in age, education, language proficiency, and work experience. However, having a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can add 50–200 additional CRS points, significantly boosting your chances of selection. While a job offer isn’t mandatory, it strengthens your profile. To succeed without one, ensure you score well in language tests, education (with an ECA if applicable), and relevant skilled work experience.
