1) The Ontario Ministry of Labour web site states that to qualify for severance pay the employee has to work for the employer for five years or more. Is it true? 2) And it states that severance pay is one week wage per one year of employment. Is it true? Many thanks

No, that is not true. That is only with respect to person's minimum entitlements. It is not relevant. To see how much severance someone is actually owed, use the Severance Calculator: www.severancepaycalculator.com and you can always call me.
