Is LMIA(LMO) needed for Canadian experience as a skilled Worker?

Could anybody please tell me if I can apply for the Federal Skilled Professional/Trades program using my 1-2 years of Canadian work experience? I know that most people choose the Canadian Experience Class option, but I wanted to know if the FSP option is also available?

If it is possible, does anyone know if I need an LMIA for my job in Canada in order to get the maximum amount of points? For example, for CEC they only give you the maximum 600 points for your work experience if it was done with an LMIA, otherwise you only receive 50 points. Does the same system apply to the FSW program, or do they give the same amount of points for work experience irrespective of you having an LMIA(LMO)?
