Employers in Ontario are permitted to terminate the employment of their employees as long as that termination is completed in a lawful manner. Employees in Ontario are entitled to notice and/or pay in lieu of notice of the termination of their employment. If a temporary foreign worker feels that the notice and/or pay in lieu of notice that they received upon the termination of their employment was inadequate, they should contact an employment lawyer to review their potential entitlements.
If a temporary foreign worker thinks that their employment was terminated for discriminatory reasons, then they should contact an employment lawyer to have the circumstances of their employment reviewed in relation to the relevant human rights legislation in Canada.
If you are a foreign worker who has recently been fired, and you are unsure whether you have legal status to remain in Canada, or you interested in understanding your rights, please contact Toronto employment and immigration lawyers, Sultan Lawyers, at (416) 214-5111 or via email to mlahert@sultanlawyers.com
