I am employed in Quebec city by an Ontario company as a salesman for 11 years I am 63 years old am I entitled to the Ontario common law severance?

After being employed at a Public Sector job for 21 months my husband was "terminated without cause" suddenly without notice. He received a 2 month pay severance package and subsequently signed a release letter. It was discovered later that he was replaced in less than 3 weeks by a former friend and employee of his boss. His job was not posted and he feels he was terminated without cause so that his job could be given to the new employee. Since he signed a release form, the employer is covered against legal action ...is this correct? He and I both quit our previous jobs, sold our home and moved 3 hrs for this job only to have it suddenly terminated. We are now facing moving away as there is very little employment in his field in the area.

After two years with the same company, I was terminated Friday afternoon August 5, 2016 with no verbal or written explanation. I have never been given a review or any kind of notice letting me know I've done something wrong or I require improvement. Doesn't an employer have to sit with me and discuss what I have done wrong and my need for improvement on at least 3 occassions 3 months apart including a signed letter by both parties indicating that both parties understand what was discussed and another meeting will happen within a 3 month period to discuss my improvement or failure to comply... I'm pretty sure someone should have said something to me so I could fix the situation, right?

I have been working for four months and my boss told me that any day I need off to message him the morning of to let him know. So I did that because I needed to re write my z endorsement for my liscence. At the end of the day my boss texts me to say to not come in the following day. So I call him and he says he is so fuming mad he needs the weekend to think things over. Then decides to fire me in the same conversation . He claims i was on probation but I was well over the 3 month period.

This is in regards to long term payments.once an application is made is there a time line for the insurance providers to make a decision...like 30 or 60 or 90 days or cab they delay a decision indefinitely. ..
