I received a ticket in Montreal for making an illegal left hand turn. Will I receive points on my license in NY state. If so, how many?

Yes, you are likely to get points added to your New York driving record for this speeding violation in Montreal, Quebec. Quebec and New York State have a reciprocal agreement to share information concerning driver's license and traffic offenses between the province and the state.

The New York Department of Motor Vehicle states that they do not record out-of-state violations committed by NYS drivers in other jurisdictions. The exceptions are alcohol-related violations, drug-related violations, and moving violations committed in Quebec or Ontario.

Under special agreements, traffic convictions in Quebec or Ontario are recorded on NYS driver license records and carry points. Except for violations in Ontario and Quebec, points are not added to your NYS record for out-of-state violations.

Speeding tickets vary in points in NY from 3 to 11 points depending upon the amount of miles per hour over the speed limit you were cited for. So to find out the points you will receive you will need to convert the km/h you were cited for to mph and look at the NYS points list on the NY DMV site. If you were a resident of Montreal demerit points for speeding are assessed from 1 to 15 depending upon the km/h the speed you were in excess of limit prescribed.
