Skilled type b? Meaning i can get my spouse if i already working in manitoba?
It means you have another option. Right now you always have the option of bringing your spouse to Canada on a TRV, only that:
- TRVs for spouses of TFWs have higher possibilities of refusal
- The limit on the initial duration of the stay under a TRV does not match the WP duration and at the end of the visit duration, either get an extension, or go back to the home country
- No flexibility with the spouse as visitors are not allowed to work and augment family income
If you get the WP under that LMIA for NOC 6331 or NOC 6251- that puts you in skill class B, which then makes your spouse eligible to get an open work permit based on your WP. This is the option that opens up to you under that new WP. See excerpts below:

If your spouse wants to work in Canada
If you have a spouse or common-law partner who wants to work while in Canada, they must apply for their own work permit. Normally, they must meet the same rules as you do. This includes their employer getting an LMIA, if needed.
Your spouse or common-law partner may be able to apply for an “open” work permit. This is a permit that will let them accept any job with any employer if:
You are
approved to work in Canada for six months or longer,
doing work in Canada that meets a minimum skill level (usually work for which you need at least a college diploma) and
doing a job at Skill Level 0, A or B in the National Occupational Classification.
This is a better route (applying for a OWP for the spouse) and much more preferred for spouses of TFWs.
So first thing is to get that LMIA and then get that WP. Then this option opens up to you to get your spouse to join you in the country for a longer period of temporary residence.
