So you are PR? So is he inland? if not, he is not eligible for a work permit. Needs to be in Canada when you apply for PR and once he has AOR, he can apply for a work permit.

No, not possible.

He needs to be physically in Canada and you need to sponsor him inland in order for an open work permit to be possible.

Okay after applying PR should I apply visit so he can be in Canada then apply for work permit?
No - this will not work.

If he wants to qualify for an open work permit, then the first step is for him to apply for a TRV. Assuming the TRV is approved, he must then travel to Canada. Once he has arrived in Canada, you can then submit an inland spousal sponsorship application. Once you have AOR after submitting the sponsorship application, he can then apply for the open work permit. This is the only way.
