Try looking at different occupations on this page: http://www5.hrsdc.gc.ca/NOC/English/NOC/2006/Occupations.aspx?val=2

Most likely something in the 217 group or the 228 group.

To get a work permit, you will need an LMO unless your job offer falls under something on this page: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/special-tech.asp  The NOCs on that page are not real NOCs by the way, they are different numbers to classify the LMO exempt occupations.

There are no such NOCs, you need the exact no. i.e. 0213, 2172 etc.

All of the NOCs in the 217 and 228 groups are skilled NOCs so the work experience will count for points but to qualify to apply as a skilled worker, you need 3 things:

1) 67 or more points on the self-assessment
2) 1 or more years continous work experience in a skilled NOC
3) meet some category of the ministerial instructions

The 3rd part was added in 2008 and the ministerial instructions give you 3 categories to apply under.  They are:

Category 1: Your occupation falls under one of the 38 most wanted
Category 2: You have an approved job offer in Canada (AEO)
Category 3: You are already in Canada, working or studying for a year or more

You can read more about this here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/apply-who.asp and here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/skilled.asp

do you still need ILETS even if you fall under "Special categories—Information technology workers"

I think "Special Categories- Information Technology workers" are only exempt from LMO requirements in applying for Work Permits. And you don't need to show score for IELTS when applying for a work permit, only that you speak and understand one of Canada's official language. For Immigration there's only one "IT" - NOC eligible: 0213: Computer and Information Systems Managers.
