I was employed by a company in Vancouver bc and was relocated from the UK. I have worked for 3 months in the full time job, until last week when I had a meeting with my line manager saying to me that I lacked enough Construction experience after they knew this during our interview. I made it very clear to them before I was employed and during my interview, which they promised to send me on training courses and I would shadow the about to retire person in the role. The company shipped all of my property from the UK and also promised to sponsor my PR application. I am currently on a work permit tied to the company, because I was reasured that this is long term, I had made some financial commitments. Commitments like house and car lease. I would like to know if I have a case to sue the company.
Many thanks

Thank you for your question. Given what you have provided it is very possible that you have a strong case to claim for the financial loss resulting from the relocation and for amounts on account of severance. I would encourage you to visit the severance pay calculator our firm has developed to see what you are owed (www.SeverancePayCalculator.com). I would also encourage you to contact us and set up a consultation with one of our employment lawyers who will fully review your matter and provide you with options.
