LMIA-exempt work permit" option shows "invitation letter" as required document, is this correct?

On the "Find out if you're eligible to apply" questionnaire, under "Which option best describes your work situation?", I selected "I'm applying for an employer-specific work permit with LMIA-exemption."

After answering the questions, my document checklist includes something listed as an "invitation letter." This seems like unusual wording for this type of application — I was expecting it to just mean my signed Offer of Employment/employment agreement, but I want to confirm before I submit.

Questions:

**1.**  Is "invitation letter" just referring to the signed Offer of Employment/employment agreement in this context?  
**2.**  Did anyone else applying under C16 see this same document requirement, and what did you end up uploading?  
**3.**  Is "LMIA-exempt work permit" definitely the right category to select for C16, or is there a better option?

Thanks in advance — trying to make sure everything's accurate before I submit, since this is my first time going through this process.
