Migrant workers in Canada with a valid, closed work permit (i.e. tied to a specific employer) and who are experiencing labour or human rights abuse (such as discrimination, illegal deductions, non-payment of hours), or who are at risk of abuse in the context of their employment in Canada, may be eligible to receive an Open Work Permit for Vulnerable Workers (V-OWP), which is exempt from an LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment) under section 207.1 of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Regulations (IRPR).
