I am in the same situation. I have not worked with the employer before. However, my contract with the employer is still valid and I still have evidence showing the email correspondence I sent to the employer to resolve this issue. I called IRCC yesterday and narrated my situation and they sent me the guidance to apply for the Vulnerable Open work permit. I have reported to Service Canada and CICC and I am going to add this to my application. Also, with my case when I got the job offer from the immigration consultant, I sent it to the employer for verification. However, he failed to respond to my email and rather informed the immigration consultant about my out reach. I have this email correspondence to show as evidence. Also, I learnt that the more evidence you show the faster your application.

This seems to be quite a prevalent scam going on at the moment. Consultants/lawyers are lining up jobs that don’t exist knowing they can try to apply for a VOWP. If an employer doesn’t respond to a future employee most would question if there was an actual job and wouldn’t move to another country.

Yes, it's very bad. And this immigration consultancy firm Green Light Canada is scamming alot. I currently know 2 other people facing similar issues with them. And 6 more people who have requested for their refunds but are not willing to pay them. Its troubling to see licensed consultants in this fraudulent act. I've report to Service Canada and CICC but their process is kinda slow

Many are applying for VOWP at the same time to try to extend their status in Canada so processing time is slow. iRCC must also do their due diligence to verify this is a situation that warrants a VOWP because many are applying who don’t qualify. Processing times are often goals not the reality.

Got my work permit

Hi Aadi007,

I hope you can help me understand and help me on my situation base on your experience. Hope you are still here and can still be reachable.

I came here as a TFW-closed work permit. Since I don't have that much money to hire a consultant, I applied sole in IRCC a VOWP. My employer is not paying me overtime and wanting me to do errands for him on my rest days with no pay. He is also joking about having me as his 2nd wife which is making me uncomfortable. I fear my safety as a woman which develops stress and anxiety.
I filed only with my statement and evidences. I failed to upload my contract of employment. Can I still upload them and wait for their message if they need some documents?

I've only worked for him 4months cause I can't bear the scrutiny after declining his request for me to do errands in his apartment. My mental being has been affected to much. In this regard, Can I apply for EI?

Hoping for your response.

I would appreciate if anyone can answer my question as well. Thank you
