I think you mean IFR. In Class C there is no requirement to separate 'cancelled IFR' (=VFR) and VFR, but there is a requirement to separate 'cancelled IFR' (=VFR) from IFR.
As long as you remain IFR, even during a visual approach, the controler must seprate you from VFR and IFR.
If you cancel IFR, you become VFR, and hence the controler does not have to separate you from other VFR.
