hello i am 26 yo i am from lebanon but now i live in germany as a masters student. i have bachelor of sciences degree from lebanon and i have 6 years work experience in an IT company in lebanon.
I have a visitor visa multiple entry to canada and it is valid for 4 years.

do i have a chance to be accepted for an open work permit?

on the cic website they say that u can apply for an open work permit if you have a valid temporary visa and i have it.

thank you in advance for your reply:)
 
No - you don't have a chance at an open work permit. You need to read the rules more closely.

You hold a valid Temporary Resident VISA.

In order to qualify for an open work permit you need to hold a valid Temporary Resident PERMIT.

You don't qualify for a Temporary Resident Permit - which means you also don't qualify for an open work permit.
 
thank you for your response, but can i know what is the difference between temporary resident permit and temporary visa ?

A temporary resident permit is a special permit that grants entry to Canada to people who are otherwise inadmissible to Canada (typically due to a crime).

You already have a TRV and are admissible to Canada - so you don't qualify for a TRP.
