"You should apply for a Work Permit", well I thought I did...

[Elviebee]

In my mind I applied for the work visa. But I was denied. Is it possible that I applied for a visitor visa and not a work visa based on the response of the IRCC to me?

I am not satisfied that you will leave Canada at the end of your stay as a temporary resident, as stipulated in paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR, based on the purpose of your visit.
• Since you have a valid job offer, you should be applying for a work permit.

Without you actually telling anyone actual information or what forms you submitted, no one can help.

I have applied online using GC key. Well I was really confident that I applied for a work visa. But after the IRCC decision, I am not quite sure if I made the right application. Is the paragraph 179(b) of the IRPR referring to visitor visa? If then, then I must have submitted a wrong application that lead me to denied application

Again, what forms did you actually submit? What is this job offer? Do you have an LMIA? Where are you applying from?

 

[k.h.p.]

If you applied for a business-class temporary resident visa (a "business visa") you did not apply for a work permit.
