I have been at the same office for over 9 years & recently found out I am going to be fired with no cause. They plan to turn around and place an ad to hire to replace me. Can this be done?

I have just been terminated from my job of 7 years. I feel that this is wrongful dismissal and I am wondering...can I accept severance pay and still sue them for wrongful dismissal? We are raising 4 children and I really cannot go without a paycheck. A suit could take a long time and with no income right now, I won't be able to help provide for our family. What should I do, as my employer has asked that I come in today to sign release papers? Thank u for your time, Jen

I was employed at a company a little over a year ago and let go with just what was owed by the the employment standards act. I have found out that the company has been sold and the new owners take over next week.
