No you will not get points if he/she worked in other than Canada.

My spouse has 10 years of foreign work experience . do we get any points for express entry application ?

 

[Vidya sarath]

No. Spouse will only receive points for Canadian work experience.

But you should check who of you gets more points overall and then make that person the principal applicant (provided you both meet MEC for one of the programs).

Thank you for the prompt reply.
What is 'MEC' stand for?

In our case, i am below the age category of 35 with two degree holder & 5 years of foreign experience. Whereas my spouse is above 35 & 1 degree holder with 10 years of foreign experience. I believe in this scenario i would be earning more points.

MEC = Minimum entry criteria.

Yes, you would get more points because points for foreign work experience are capped at 3 years.

Would double-check just the same - only takes a few minutes.
