LMIA exempt and Open work permit

[Cisuuable]

Hello,

I got puzzled a little bit with my situation in Canada. I'm taking part in International Experience Canada program and I received Open Work Permit.
I received job offer and accepted it (it is for unlimited time NOC A as a Software Developer).
Will unlimited work for:

• be for full-time and for at least one year

I want to update my Express Entry profile and take part in BC Tech Pilot program. But I got confused by the LMIA around open work permit. Here are the rules:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...eligibility/offer-employment/lmia-exempt.html
My concern is about the 1st point

1. have been working full-time for the employer on your work permit for at least one year (or an equal amount of part-time work)

I'm on Open Work Permit, I'm working without LMIA. So does it still applies here? And which option in EE forms should I select:
Was a positive Labour Market Impact Assessment (LMIA) issued for the current work permit?
No
No - My work permit is exempt from an LMIA due to an international agreement
No - My work permit is exempt from an LMIA due to a Federal-Provincial agreement

And last question: If I accepted Job Offer does it count as a Job offer or not anymore?

If anything needs additional explanation please leave comment and I will provide all the needed information.

Thank you for any help !!!
Cheers

Were you able to get this figured out?

As a software developer (NOC A) you fit under the 32 occupation titles of the BC PNP Tech Pilot program, so I believe you would be LMIA exempt. Here's the list: https://www.welcomebc.ca/getmedia/0...ech-Pilot_Key-Technology-Occupations.pdf.aspx

Best of luck!
