As I said, you need all the papers that the online cheklist requires, if you are a pgwp applicant, you don't need a job offer and they will not ask for it. Them and CIC are two different agencies, but they both have authorities to issue a individual immigration documents. And they didn't ask me whether or not I have applied online, but one of my friend has been asked, but the officer didnt care, and I didnt have to show how urgent I was to get this permit, because that's their job, if a officer is in bad mood, he probably won't accpet you application, but I didn't experienced that. As I said above, it all depends on how urgent you want , the officers don't care. And I just wanted to share my experience, not want to debate this is the best way, of course not. If you want your permit faster, go and have a try, if you think it is risky, seat back and relax, have some coffee and wait at home. It is that simple.
