Good day everyone
I have a question and i hope that you can help me
My parents and brothers live in Canada and they are Canadian citizens, i applied for express entry and my application got accepted, my score is 411, i wanted to increase my score by getting a job offer but whenever i apply for a job i get told that it is better if i was currently residing in Canada while applying for jobs.
So i had an idea and i don't really know if it is possible or not.
Is it possible that i get invited to Canada by my family, go there with a visitor visa or a tourist visa and look for a job while staying there? and when i get a job offer i add it to my express entry application and get my score boosted and get accepted by express entry and get invited to apply for the PR.

Might be a very silly question - if your parents and brothers are Canadian citizens, why are you going through the EE route? Wouldn't a family reunion type route be better?

Job Offer........
Pre-Assessed..
This is really quite silly that you need to apply for economic programs to enter Canada as an immigrant when your immediate family is Canadian and live in Canada....

It will be very difficult for you to claim points for a job. Simply put, this is very rare and the process is more complicated than just finding someone to hire you. The prospective employer will also need to apply for an LMIA, which is cost prohibitive. So unless you have some amazing skills that an employer can't find from a Canadian citizen or PR, then don't get your hopes up. You have better chances of improving your score by improving your language scores. Some patience can go a long way, too. The draw scores are likely to come down below 400 by the end of the year.

Didn't know I had a family reunion route could u tell me more about it please
I am really sorry that I don't know much about the details of any 'family reunion' route. I just figured it must exist somewhere to logically make it easier for persons in your situations to reunite with immediate family in Canada. There gotta be otherwise the immigration system just doesn't make sense.

Since my immediate family lives there, what may be my options to go to Canada, I applied thru express entry to enter with my spouse and child.
So what options do I have?
