Express Entry without job offer

[Dwaipayan.M]

Even if Job Offer gives us 600 points in CRS, if we dont have that, do we really have any choice ?
I think its better to start registering in the Job sites of Canada to stand a chance but dont think that wil really work.

"Here is your answer:
Express Entry Pool
33. Do I need a job offer to get into the Express Entry pool?

If you meet the criteria of one of the economic immigration programs subject to Express Entry, you will be accepted into the Express Entry pool. A job offer supported by an Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) from an employer in Canada is a significant asset, but not a requirement.

Note: The Province of Quebec does not use Express Entry. They select their own skilled workers. See Quebec-selected skilled workers to find out more.

In 2013, about 1200 applicants migrated to Canada with a validated job offer/AEO/Arranged Employment... Whatever you want to call it. Numbers in 2014 are not much different. This is coming from a CIC officer in a presentation at National Education Conference in Calgary on November 7th, 2014...
So, if the quota of CIC in 2015 is 47000-51000 immigrants under FSW plus the PNP and out of that say about a 1000 people have a validated job offer, where do you think the rest of immigrants will come from?

I haven't looked up a reference for these two years but after seeing this, it is hard to believe the numbers suddenly dropped under 1% in 2013 and 2014.

Assuming a good percentage of approved LMO's also got work permits (i guess those should be easily over half).

Update:
Here are numbers for total work permit holders entering Canada. Total at the bottom for each year is at least 80k total. Please keep in mind that a lot of successful LMO's don't get work permits. But there are a lot of people who do not need LMO's due to many reasons e.g. they studied in Canada, their spouse is studying or has an LMO based work permit in Canada or they are a post doc or something which are LMO exempt.

Dear all,

if you've got job offer from Canada you will get extra 600 points under express entry.if we haven't got an arranged employment we will not get 600 points.in this case the applicants who haven't got job offer ranking below applicants who have got it.Will it be harder to immigrate to Canada without arranged employment.

Thank you.

hi there
