Ask your question and an employment lawyer in Ontario, BC or Alberta will answer in minutes
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
