Sure - you can certainly apply for the TRV. There's obviously no guarantee you will be approved and there's a chance multiple applications will reduce your chances of being approved for either since it will look like you are trying to do anything you can to get to Canada and CIC may be concerned that you have plans to remain in Canada long term. I would personally wait for the SOWP to be processed and not submit the TRV. While you wait, your husband can visit you instead of you visiting him. But if you want to apply for the TRV then you can certainly do that.

What if I withdraw from first application so CIC had only 1 application to work ...and do they allow Pakistani on spouse open work permit.... I never heard a positive response that from Pakistan anyone got this vissa that's y I'm in a big doubt

Sure - you can withdraw the SOWP application. However TRVs don't necessarily have high approval rates either. So again, there's absolutely no guarantee a TRV will be approved (even if you withdraw the SOWP). What you do is really your choice.
