My refusal is


This letter refers to your application for a Work Permit.

Based on your application and accompanying documentation that you have provided, I have carefully considered all information and I am not satisfied that you meet the requirements of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act and Regulations. Your application as requested is therefore refused.

To be issued an open Work Permit (WP) you must be currently in Canada and have submitted an application for Permanent Residence (PR) as the principal applicant under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class in Canada.

You have failed to meet the eligibility requirements for an SCLPC open Work Permit because your application for Permanent Residence under the spouse or common-law partner in Canada (SCLPC) class was submitted overseas. For further details on eligibility requirements please see our website at: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/tools/temp/work/admissibility/open.asp .

[X] Your status in Canada is valid until 2023/12/28.

please guide me what should i do.

You are not eligible for a work permit because you did not apply for an "Inland Sponsorship". You submitted an Outland application, from outside Canada. You then decided to come to Canada as a visitor and do a virtual landing, which is ok, however that doesn't mean that your application became an Inland application; it is still an application filed outside of Canada (Outland).
As to what you should do: Nothing. Hang tight and wait to receive your eCoPR. Once it's issued, you are a permanent resident.

That's a complete misinformation. The requirements to be inland applicant was removed which is clearly stated in the eligibility requirements

Have followed this guide to apply including selecting right options as to indicating
  • I am applying for an open work permit under an active public policy or pilot program announced by IRCC.

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/family-sponsorship/spouse-partner-children/spouse-common-law-partner-canada-open-work-permit.html

perhaps you selected wrong option?

On your tracker, what address is shown? Canada or original address where you were living when you submitted the application?

Reason I am asking is that, although IRCC had acknowledged my webform to update the address, they didn't update my contact details on the tracker until I called them. Maybe that could be the issue?
