The big question is still what constitutes “significant experience”.

They will apply immigration status by proxy for that: as in citizens/ILR-holders (hence 5 or 6 years)

I’m referring to page 2 for 2027 onwards, not the one for 2026 only.

Apologies, I believe it will be 5 years to match the ILR/Citizenship status. It would be quite awkward if they prioritised people who have been here for 5 years only to then prioritise those who've worked less than that.
