As per below link:
http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp
Category 2: For persons who have arranged employment offer with a Canadian employer
0281 is a skill type B.
this 0281 is eligible (provided meet 67 points) and not required any arranged employment. As you mentioned earlier this skill type needs an arranged employement offer.
my question was "where it has mentioned 0281 needs AEO"
No, 0281 is actually skill type 0. The first digit being zero overrides everything else. Only if the first digit is not zero do you look at the 2nd digit and conclude that it is skill level A, B, C or D. Only 0, A and B are considered skilled for immigration purposes.
There are 3 categories you can apply under. If you look at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who-instructions.asp#list it will tell you that
In order for your application to be eligible for processing, you must either:
have an offer of arranged employment, OR
be a foreign national who has been living legally in Canada for one year as a temporary foreign worker or an international student, OR
be a skilled worker who has had at least one year of experience* in one or more of the following occupations within the last ten years:
and then it gives you the list of 38 occupations where neither 2281 or 0281 is on. The categories are actually in the wrong order at the above link. At your link at http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp you can see which category is which.
Category 1 is the one that corresponds with the list of 38 occupations. If you do not have experience in one of the 38 occupations, you can not apply under Category 1.
Category 2 is for people who are outside Canada but have skilled work experience such as in 2281 or 0281 or other skill type 0 or skill level A or B jobs. Those people will need an AEO (arranged employment) to be able to apply.
Category 3 is for people who are already in Canada on a study or work permit for at least 12 months. They can apply without having experience in one of the 38 occupations and without having an AEO although they do need at least one year experience in some skilled occupation.
