Yes, your three years of work experience can be valid for Canadian immigration if it meets certain criteria.

- The experience must be paid, full-time (or equivalent part-time), and in a skilled occupation listed under NOC TEER 0, 1, 2, or 3.
- For the Federal Skilled Worker Program, at least one year of continuous skilled work in the last ten years is required.
- Three years of eligible experience would typically earn you 11 points in the Express Entry system.

Immigration rules are subject to change.
