Yes, it is possible to apply for Canadian permanent residency without a job offer, especially through the Express Entry system. Many candidates qualify under the Federal Skilled Worker Program if they meet requirements for age, education, work experience, and language proficiency. Some Provincial Nominee Programs (PNPs) also accept applicants without job offers, though having one can increase your chances. Family sponsorship and refugee pathways also do not require employment. While a job offer can strengthen your profile and add points, it is not mandatory in all programs.
