Based from their statement in CIC, both of us are not required to submit IELTS since you fall under NOC Level B and me under NOC Level A. Hoping that it will not change before we apply for visa Good luck to both of us since most of the applicants submitted the General type.
thanks for your good news....we are also a family stream applicant submitted last 09 March in Winnipeg by my cousin sponsor...hope to recieve AOR this month....

In my view, the rule applies to all applicants who are under NOC Level C and D. It is a requirement to submit IELTS (General type) regardless of the stream they are under.
If you don't have any relatives or friends in Manitoba, you can apply under MPNP Strategic Initiative Stream or if you are lucky enough to find an employer to sponsor you, but not as live-in caregiver, you can apply under MPNP Employer Direct Stream.
I don't have much idea about the Strategic Initiative but I found a forum about it. You may ask them to get the best answers. Here's the link : http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/mpnp-strategic-initiative-got-some-questions-t103718.0.html

thanks for the reply my question was not based on ielts requirements my question was based in general like does NOC code matters at any point in MPNP process( apart from the ielts requirement).
