Yes, "courriel" is the common and official [1] word in Québec. Portmanteau of courrier (mail) + électronique.
Their professional translator must have used Google Translate. But much worse translations are common in our corner of North America.
"Work" is the tricky part. I generally use e-mail (work) rather than trying to translate verbatim as it tends to read like "E-mail at the office" or "Professional e-mail", both weird.
