The Work Experience criterion is one of the ten criteria for which points are awarded under the Quebec Immigration selection system.
Up to 8 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 | 4 points |
| 12 to 23 months | 4 points |
| 24 to 35 months | 6 points |
| 36 to 47 months | 6 points |
| 48 months and over | 8 points |
| Maximum | 8 points |
Notes:
- Work experience must have been accumulated during the five 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.
