I had a job offer from a British company to work from home, can I use it to immigrate?

I had a job offer from a British company to work from home.

The job offer is for three years full time (40 hours) and they don't care where I do the work. It is software development job.

Can I use it as a job offer to immigrate to Canada?

Thanks

You can't claim points for having a job offer, if that's what you're asking.

Thanks for your reply.

Is there anyway to improve my chance via this job (e.g. self-employed immigration)?

This job is not a Canadian company and does not have a LMIA attached. In most cases, the only way you're going to get points for a job offer is if it is a Canadian employer willing to give you a LMIA http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=695&top=29

For jobs that could give you points without a LMIA, read here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/exempt.asp

Thanks. Any idea about self-employed immigration in Quebec? I've read that if I have $100,000 I can target self-employment with any job offer. Is that correct?

Also keep in mind, if you're intending to immigrate via Express Entry, Quebec does not use the CIC program. They have their own rules. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/quebec/index.asp
