Working Holiday Visa + (Arranged?) Employment

Subject: Working Holiday Visa + (Arranged?) Employment
  Hey there,

I´m here half way through my working holiday visa and have recently landed me a full-time permanent job as ´Data Analyst´ starting in Nov(I come from IT/technical background if that clarifies).
I´m planning on applying for residency under Skilled Worker category(not sure whether it´s essential to get HRSDC positive opinion before applying. My guess is it falls confirmation-exempt category??) See below an excerpt from CIC website:

------
Factor 5
Arranged employment
(maximum of 10 points)Determine your points based on the chart below:

If:
You are currently working in Canada on a work permit.

And:
•Your work permit is valid when you apply for a permanent resident visa and;
•Your employer has made an offer to give you a permanent job if your application is successful.
Note: Your work permit must be valid at the time your permanent resident visa is issued.

Points:
10
----------

It doesn´t even mention HRSDC/LMO at all. Does that mean it´s not essential?


Also, I read instructions on the set of application forms which contain contradictory information at multiple places:
It seems clear that with the employment, I should submit my application to the Centralized Intake Office (CIO) in Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada. But then more than once the instruction also mentions visa-office specific form(I´m a New Zealand national so it´d be Sydney office, Australia). So does that mean my application will end up at Sydney office, i.e. I need to comply with Sydney specific instructions too?

Many thanks for responding!

WORKING HOLIDAY VISA

International Youth Programs - bilateral, reciprocal
arrangements – that enable persons between the ages of 18 and 35 to work temporarily in the respective countries who are parties to the agreement.

Therefore, it is not a HRSDC confirmed work permit that did not demonstrate that

“the employment would be likely to result in a neutral or positive effect on the labour market in Canada."

IT´S INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT!

No, “international agreements” fall in such areas as civil aviation,international free-trade, emergency services, and so on.

Thanks so.. (in reply to: Working Holiday Visa + (Arranged?) Employment)
Thanks for your post. However I need to know what to do going forward, not working holiday visa itself.

Can anybody answer my questions please?
