How to get Canada PR visa from India without job offer letter from Canada?

Canada is known for its welcoming-culture and immigrant friendly policies, which makes it one of the most desirable destinations for aspiring immigrants. The country has a target to invite 195,800 immigrants solely through its Economic immigration categories including Express Entry and PNP in 2020.

Thus, to successfully meet its annual target, the government is supporting each and every prospective migrant who have a true intention of permanently moving to Canada and contribute to its economy.

Commonly, most of the immigrants struggle with a question, "whether I should immigrate first and then get a job or vice versa?"

Precisely, it can prove beneficial for you to first move to Canada and then find a new job.  As a skilled worker, if you have relevant work experience and educational qualification, then you may qualify under different immigration programs via which you can easily move to Canada without a job offer.

Let's have a look at two most popular Canada immigration programs that offer you a quick pathway to apply for and obtain a Canada PR visa from India without a prior job offer in hand.

Federal Skilled Worker Program

Being a part of Canada's most popular Express Entry program, FSWP is a first choice of most of the aspiring immigrants. This program is exclusively designed for skilled workers who have relevant foreign work experience and a clear intention to move to Canada permanently.

To qualify under FSWP, you don't need a job offer from any Canadian employer.

However, you may need one, if don't have enough proof of funds to support yourself and your family when in Canada.

Please note, FSWP has minimum requirements for skilled work experience, language ability and education. As an applicant, you must meet all the minimum requirements to qualify and once you meet the same, your application will be assessed by the IRCC on the basis of your:

  • Age
  • Education
  • Work experience
  • English and/or French language skills
  • Adaptability (how well you’re likely to settle here)

You have to score minimum passing marks, i.e. 67 out of 100 on the points-table to be eligibility for the Federal Skilled Worker Program and enter the Express Entry pool.

The IRCC then rank the profiles of all the candidates as per a points-based system called Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS). The highest ranked candidates get an invitation to apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence in upcoming EE draw.

Thus, to qualify for an ITA, you must score minimum required CRS points out of 1200 as per individual EE draws, which you can calculate easily using CRS Score Calculator in advance before actually creating a profile.

Provincial Nominee Program

There are a few Canadian provinces that allow an applicant to apply for permanent residence in Canada without a prior job offer in hand and low Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) under their respective PNP streams.

You may apply under following most popular PNP streams without a job offer from Canadian employer:

  • Saskatchewan Immigrant Nominee Program (SINP)

               1) Occupation in-demand subcategory

               2) Express Entry Subcategory

  • Nova Scotia Nominee Program (NSNP)

              1) Nova Scotia Demand: Express Entry Category B

  • Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program (OINP)

              1) Human Capital Priorities Stream

  • Manitoba Provincial Nominee Program (MPNP)

              1) Skilled Worker Stream

  • Alberta Immigrant Nominee Program (AINP)

              1) Alberta Express Entry Stream

If you are planning to migrate to Canada in 2020, but you don't have a job in hand, then do consider the above options and take your first step towards reaching your dream by taking free online profile assessment.
