My common-law partner will visit me under tourist visa. I am a TFW. Is there any way that I can sponsor him so that he can have an open work permit?

I think what scylla just asked you is what is your job and what skill type.

If your occupation is in NOC 0,A or B your spouse can get an open work permit for duration of your LMO/WP.

All you have to do is just check your WP for occupation.

I have no idea. My work permit is a food and beverage server.

Unfortunately Food and Beverage Servers (NOC 6453) belongs to skill type C. You can't get an OPW based on your WP/LMO.
All you can do is:
1) find your partner a job with LMO and then apply for WP;
2) apply for working holiday visa if eligible;
3) go to college/university and get student WP

Will search on how to get a working holiday visa for him.... Or look for a job for him with LMO. The third option is too expensive I guess. Thank you so much for your help.

What country is your common law partner from? We can tell you pretty quickly based on this information if the Working Holiday Visa is an option or not.

It's not just for Italian citizens. The visa is available for a number of different countries (but unfortunately the Philippines isn't one of them).
