Hi, I am working in a university for 1 year a d 3 mo ths on a work permit (LMIA exempted). My supervisor resigned nearly 1 month ago. Now after 1 month the dean asked me to find a new supervisor within university in 2 week, otherwise they will fire me in 2 weeks. In my contract, there is a clause of 2 weeks notice to terminate.
However, there nothing wrong done by me. I have good accomplishments.
What can I do?
Please advise me

Thank you for reaching out to our firm.

Unfortunately, and generally speaking, an employer can terminate an employee at any time and for any reason. However, that does not mean that you will not be entitled to severance. How much will depend on several factors, including your contract, though it is important to remember that you might not be limited to the terms of the contract in all cases.
