What I understand from this guide is if you checked "Yes" to any of the Questions 3 - 7, then you need to fill out Schedule 1 - Application for a Temporary Resident Visa Made Outside of Canada (IMM 5257 – Schedule 1) and enclose this form with your application. If you checked "No" to all of those questions (Questions 3 - 7), then you don't need to complete Schedule 1 form.
As you read in the Document Checklist IMM5488, you need to enclose Schedule 1 form if it is applicable to you.
Once your application for work permit made outside of Canada is approved, then the Canadian consulate/embassy officer will issue a work visa which allows you to enter Canada. Then once you arrive at one of the airports in Canada with the work visa stamped in your passport, then the officer at the airport will issue the work permit which will allow you to start working for the employer that is written in your work permit.
I hope this will help.
