I lost my job a week after my three month probation ended. They didn't have a reason for terminating me only that "it wasn't working out" I've never been written up or told that I wasn't doing a good job at all. To summarize, they fired me with out reason. Is this legal?

My job was terminated at a bank after an employment more than 2 and half years. The reason for termination was an inadvertent mistake of e-mail the client distribution list to my personal e-mail; the objective of the e-mail was to simply work at home during weekly time off as well as to send linkedin invites to the clients. I have background of having worked in the financial services industry where it is expected to work from home. Bank's position is the bank's proprietary information shouldn't be sent to personal e-mails & exposes the bank to reputational risk. I understand the position, however I am not sure how would a list of clients (which is like Canada 411 information with e-mails in excel format) would expose the bank to such risk(there is no other information of the clients on the list). The major concern is the effect it may have on my future licensing. Without licensing, my career is finished. Please advise.

I passed the 3 mth probation by 1 month. But owner hired a person in my department after my probation. Now I am told that i am being let go because there is no space for me. He told me this is my notice of termination and my last day is in 2 weeks. I did NOT get a written notice of termination. But i am expected to work until my last day. Do i need to work? Am i not supposed to get paid for being terminated for no just cause? Can i do anything if he doesnt give me a written notice of termination? Because as of right now i am working for the money he is going to pay me. I was replaced for no good reason or warning.
