You most likely don't qualify for an open work permit. Open work permits are only granted to people who meet certain criteria - for example, have a spouse who is already working as a foreign worker in Canada on a work permit and who has a job that is skill level NOC A, B or 0 - or have a spouse who is studying in Canada as an international student. More info here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=177&top=17

If you are in India and simply want to work in Canada, this isn't enough to qualify for an open work permit. You'll need to find an employer who is willing to give you a full time job and who can obtain an approved LMIA before you can apply for a work permit.
