Job offer or job a must??

[steffizle]

For the Provincial Nominee program , is it a must to already have a job or job offer before you are even eligible to apply??

As far as I understand you are eligible to apply for BC PNP (I don't know about others) as soon as you have job offer. the other question that after invitation your employer will need to provide some documents and fulfill job offer form - and this is a question whether someone who just give you the job offer would like to do it. if yes - go ahead! good luck!

For Ontario PNP you dont need a job offer. If your CRS is 400 or above, you have a chance to get invited. You need to keep an eye on their website:

They might ask you to recreate your profile for their convenience. Ones you do it, you might get a letter of interest from Ontario and then you can go about applying for the same and get nominted.
Hope that helps. Read up on OINP (Ontario Immigrant Nominee Program) for more details. Wish you luck!

There are several other programs that do not require a job offer. These other programs only open up for a limited time until the targeted intake is fulfilled and have their own 'quirks.'

The program in Saskatchewan, the SINP, has two subcategories: one that is aligned with Express Entry and the other that is stand alone and independent of that Federal system. Both require that applicants have been work experience in an occupation that is in demand in the province. This list is limited in scope and is subject to change. In fact the last intake saw the elimination of IT-related occupations. There is also a requirement of a minimum score of 60 out if 100 points under a grid that is somewhat different than the Federal grid that requires 67 points to be eligible for Express Entry. As of this writing the program is closed to new applications.

Nova Scotia has a similar program that is also closed with a different set of occupations that are in demand in Nova Scotia.

Finally Manitoba's program, while not requiring a job offer requires a connection to the province. This can be in the form if a friend who is already a permanent resident who will commit to helping you get settled in the province.

I am no expert.. but as far as I know, if you have 400+, they will consider you.
