Based on the limited information you have provided, no.

Open work permits are only issued in specific circumstanes - e.g. having a spouse in Canada on a study permit, having a spouse in Canada on a closed work permit, etc.

Do you think you meet any of the open work permit criteria?

You do not qualify for an open work permit.

If you want to switch employers, you need to secure a new job offer and your new employer needs to obtain an approved LMIA so that you can switch to a new closed work permit.
