Hi everyone,
I'm a 29 years old software developer programmer with 6+ years of job experience (not in Canada) in said field and i wanted to apply for the Express Entry.
I don't have any job offers as of now but my understanding is that even a job offer adds an extra 50 points to the total number of my score, my score is as follows :

Core/Human capital factors
  • Age = 110
  • Level of education = 120
  • Official Languages = 124
    • First Official Language = 124
    • Second Official Language = 0
  • Canadian work experience = 0
Subtotal - Core/Human capital factors = 354

Spouse factors
  • Level of education = 0
  • First Official Languages = 0
  • Canadian work experience = 0
Subtotal - Spouse factors = 0

Skill transferability factors
Education (to a maximum of 50 points)
  • A) Official Language proficiency and education = 25
  • B) Canadian work experience and education = 0
Subtotal = 25
Foreign work experience (to a maximum of 50 points)
  • A) Official Language proficiency and foreign work experience = 50
  • B) Canadian and foreign work experience = 0
Subtotal = 50
Certificate of qualification = 0
Subtotal Skill transferability factors = 75



Additional points (to a maximum of 600 points)
Provincial nomination = 0
Job offer = 0
Study in Canada = 0
Sibling in Canada = 0
French-language skills = 0
Subtotal Additional points = 0
Comprehensive Ranking System formula grand total = 429

Considering that my field falls under STEM occupations i wonder if I'm even eligible for this program or any other visa program for Canada.
I would appreciate it so much if you could tell me how i can increase my score or if i have to forget about Express Entry altogether and try for another program to get my Visa.

Thanks in advance.
