IEC Netherlands - Is there a residency requirement or not?

So, the IRCC website (https://www.canada.ca/en/immigratio...ec/eligibility.html?selection=nl-wh#selection)
is very confusing about this. It says you have to prove that you are a resident of the Netherlands OR a Dutch citizen. When I applied I assumed this just meant that you either have to be resident in the Netherlands or be a Dutch citizen. But since criteria 1 is that you must be a Dutch citizen that doesn't make sense.
I'm a Dutch citizen but have been living in the UK for the past 5 years. Is there a residency requirement or not? Will my application be rejected? If yes, why did I receive an invitation letter in the first place given that they already had my profile information which had my current address in it

No you don’t need residency.
