suggestion on LMO exempt IT worker program

Hello,

I am currently working in USA on a H1B visa for the last 4 years. I have found a canadian employer who wants to hire me for a project he is trying to come up with that needs my expertise. I have a masters degree in Mathematics from an Ivy league university in USA and another master's in Aerospace engineering and have been working in the financial sector for the last 3 years.

It is a relatively small firm and are unaware of intricacies for the temp work visa. Can I be exempt under the IT skilled worker program with out wasting time for a LMO approval??

This firm also has a overseas office in HongKong. Can he file for my temp work permit under the intra company transfer program showing that he wants me in canada for knowledge transfer and then by pass the LMO stage??

Kindly advise.
