express entry news

Read the following news article about express entry.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/skilled-immigrants-under-express-entry-to-fill-labour-market-needs-1.2666236

I am confused about the following point:
"Jobs offered to qualified immigrants would be subject to Labour Market Opinions (LMOs), which are required to prove the need to hire a foreign worker over a Canadian."

Does that mean immigrants through express entry will be treated similarly to temporary workers? And does that also mean getting an invitation to apply means getting a job offer? I thought this process would be similar to that of Australia. If what this article is saying is true, then it will be a much different and a much difficult system.

Any thoughts?

An exerpt:

[size=10pt]"Under express entry, prospective immigrants would see their skills matched with labour needs identified by the provinces and territories, as well as employers.

Jobs offered to qualified immigrants would be subject to Labour Market Opinions (LMOs), which are required to prove the need to hire a foreign worker over a Canadian.

Only the highest-ranking candidates would receive an invitation to apply for permanent residency. Once that invitation is received, the government promises to process it within six months or less."[/size]
