Inquiry on Alberta PNP (AINP) engineering occupation stream

[googler]

Hi there fellow members

I plan to submit an application for Alberta PNP (AINP) under strategic engineering stream as a mechanical engineer (NOC 2132) by end of 2013. Here is the link to the eligibility criteria:

http://www.albertacanada.com/immigration/immigrating/ainp-srs-engineering-occupations-criteria.aspx

I am currently a student at the University of Alberta and my application as a foreign licensee with APEGA is under review (hopefully positive). I intend to start working with an Albertan company as mechanical engineer right after graduation. My question is how do you interpret item 4 of criteria (the following):

You must be currently working or have worked within the last two years in Alberta either directly or on contract for one of the following:
-A recognized, reputable and well-established Alberta Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) Company; and/or
-An Alberta company that is a member of the Consulting Engineers of Alberta.


If I start working for such a company in a mechanical engineering position, am I eligible to apply for this stream right away, or do I have to wait for two year after being employed to apply for AINP?

Any comment is greatly appreciated.

I think permanent job is not needed, since they accept contract work or even if work has been done sometime during the past 2 years... Correct me if I am wrong.
