After working in at a company for 5 years, I was terminated. I did not confirm the facts which were the cause of termination.

My employer has just given me notice that they are changing the terms of my hours of employment knowing I cannot work those hours because I am a recently separated single mother and do not have the child care means (or funds) to get my kids into appropriate care. They are stating they need someone here consistently 5 days a week, I am currently working 4 as per a contract signed upon my return from maternity leave in 2015. They were the ones who had originally told me they wanted to reduce hours so I came up with a compromise of Friday's as it's the only day I couldn't acquire care for my children and it's very difficult to find a daycare facility willing to accept a child on a one day a week basis as it effects their ratios. Most have a 2 day minimum and I will not qualify for subsidy on that part time a basis which means I will now be out of pocket for these expenses.

I worked there from July 4 ,2016 to Sep 15 ,2016. When asked they only gave the reason of not suitable, where they never trained me ( which I told that they will train me). I had no way to go and claim my Employment Insurance. Can I still do something now?
