Greetings! I have a Mexican friend who has been subjected to verbal, emotional and psychological abuse by our employer. He was advised to apply for an open work permit for vulnerable workers. He was hesitant because he was afraid, still is, if our employer will find out. He knows that he will no longer be renewed for next season so to extend his stay, he filed for a visitor record application last November 22, a month before his current work permit expires to buy time and be able to explore work options. However, he recently found out that he will indeed not be renewed so he has now decided to apply for the open work permit for vulnerable workers.
We know that if he files for this open work permit, and there is a pending application, both will most probably be disapproved by IRCC.
Can he withdraw his application for a visitor record and replace it with the open work permit for vulnerable workers?
Thanks!
