After 27 years no promotion granted because I had no schooling which I felt was wrong as others didn't have the same guidelines. As a single mom and busy with kids they now offer me a promotion with extra work and meetings which I don't want it. Can I refuse it? I have had anxiety for years and still on medication

I was fired from my part time job, and the reason given was that they could not afford me and it was too quiet in the current season. But today a friend who still is employed there informed me that they were going to hire someone new, it's only been a week. Is this legal?

Hi I just tried to contact your office but got voice mail. They say that they can’t trust me. I have lost their trust. The medication has been changing and that was why I was suffering from some of the side effects. As the medication gets into my body and levels off, it won’t effect me this way. I have worked for the school board for 17 years. Also if I have them fire me, can I still collect employment insurance? I really didn’t lye, I still don’t remember what happened. They wanted answers, so I gave them one. I also can’t argue with the video. My meeting is in about 1 hour.

How long after being dismissed doe I have to file a wrongful dismissal

Hi, I am going through a situation and need your expert advice. I am a software engineer living in Pakistan. Some time ago, I got a job offer from a Canadian IT company headquartered in Vancouver, Canada. I accepted the offer and then processes to get the LMIA and Work Visa started. I went through all the steps of visa processing and finally I got the Visas for myself, my wife (open work permit) and my two children few days ago. After getting work permit approval and work Visa from IRCC, I gave notice to my current employer which was a very stable job. My wife also resigned from his job. I started winding up things from here. I have sold all my assets including property, furniture, appliances, vehicles etc. But after that my Canadian employer has withdrawn the job offer giving the reason that business needs have changed. This has put me in very terrible situation and deep mental stress. I tried to negotiate an alternative solution with employer and eventually asked for a liable compensation but with no success. Now, I want to file a lawsuit against employer for compensation of my expenses and damages. Can you please help in this case? Please tell how much compensation I can get in case I go for a lawsuit? Please advice on your earliest. Would really appreciate your support in advance. Regards, Zeeshan
