Some questions on SW Initial application

[kelzer]

Hi, first time poster here, be gentle!

I am filling in my Application form for the Skilled Worker to the London office and have a few questions relating to the form:

1. In part 6 (country of residence) do I state the date that I first resided in my country or last resided. I have moved a few times between Northern Ireland and Rep. of Ireland and most recently moved to Rep. of Ire last year, so should I state that date last year?

2. Is it ok to fill in the minimum amount of funds - $10,168?

3. In part 26, I have 6 years continuous post-graduate work experience in IT plus 1 year during my college degree. Should I complete 2 sections, one with the 1 years experience and one with 4 years and more below it as there is a year of final study between the two work dates?

4. Is the RPRF fee optional when submitting? I can submit with with normal $550 CAD, would this slow the process with not submitting the RPRF initially?

Many Thanks

i reckon u apply to london office.
its ok to have minimum amount as when they ask u for documents in abt 2 years time, u ll have saved some more.
your work experience will be categorised.
it means if u have the job listed in the noc site, u should list that down.
for example, if the IT job is listed in the noc, then list that as 6 years whereas if the college work was PAID and u did it for a year minimum, and it is in the noc list, then list it also.
hope it helps.

Thanks. The jobs had the same job title, it's just that it was part of work experience and there was a year between it and my 6 years post -grad experience. I think I will do two entries even though the NOC code will be the same for both.

Any info on questions 1 and 4?
