Work Experience - Canada Federal.

Work experience is one of the six factors for which points are awarded by Citizenship and Immigration Canada officials to determine if a skilled worker will be accepted or refused.

Note: If a candidate gets zero points for work experience, his request will likely be denied.

A maximum of 15 points are awarded under the experience factor based on the number of years (maximum 6 years minimum 1 year) experience. This work experience must be gained in a profession level 0, A or B according to the National Occupational Classification (NOC).

Points are allocated as follows:

Work Experience	Points (15 max)
1 year (Minimum threshold)	9 points
2-3 years	11 points
4-5 years	13 points
6 years or more	15 points
