If your former employer holds the documentation up, Employment and Immigration Canada's Manpower section will ensure it's issued. If your form has an M on it your may be restricted, or denied, unemployment benefits. Your only option is to challenge allegations of 'cause' at a Commission hearing. It's that simple. If you have the stomach for it, and decide to sue your former employer via the courts, be warned.
Litigation can get pretty down and dirty.
But finding one isn't as easy as it sounds. For example, a Labour Program specialist from your local Human Resources Development Canada office may be able to investigate your complaint and help you to reach a settlement at no charge. To obtain this assistance, you must file a complaint, in writing, within 90 days. But remember, these powers are limited to federal jurisdictions - so if you worked for Joe Schmoe's advertising agency in Vancouver you're fresh out of luck. All Rights Reserved.
