Yes, you can apply for Canada PR without a job offer. Many applicants qualify through Express Entry or the Provincial Nominee Program (PNP) based on factors like education, work experience, language skills, and adaptability. However, having a valid job offer from a Canadian employer can boost your CRS score (except job-offer points were removed in March 2025) or help you meet specific provincial program requirements. While a job offer isn’t mandatory, you must still meet eligibility criteria, including proof of funds, to show you can support yourself and your family upon arrival in Canada.
