Quebec Immigration - Work Experience

The Work Experience criterion is one of the ten criteria for which points are awarded under the Quebec Immigration selection system.

Up to 9 points are awarded under the Experience criterion of Quebec immigration. This criterion is absolutely essential. Unless at least 1 point is awarded under the Work Experience criterion, the application will be automatically refused.

Experience	Points
Less than 6 months	0 point
6 to 11 months	2 points
12 to 23 months	4 points
24 to 35 months	6 points
36 to 47 months	7 points
48 months and over	9 points
Maximum	9 points

Notes:

• Work experience must have been accumulated during the ten years preceding the application date.
• Work experience includes remunerated employment and internships, whether remunerated or not.
• As an exception, an international student who has received a diploma from a Quebec university or college (or will receive a diploma within 12 months of the application date) does not need to meet the six month work requirement and is automatically awarded 1 point under the Work Experience criterion.
