You can't just apply for an open work permit. That option doesn't exist. What is your background? Are you studying in Canada? Do you have a job offer in Canada?

You have to apply for spousal sponsorship first. If you are able to apply inland you can apply for OWP at the same time. If you don't have a TRV and are not from a visa-exempt country you may have to apply outland.

If you do not have TRV and thus can't apply inland, then you do not have an option of OWP.
