Canadian jurisdictions do not recognize the principle of employment-at-will.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In Canada, most employment contracts are deemed to have an implied term of "reasonable notice" or pay in lieu of notice in case of termination without just cause. Therefore, the employer cannot terminate an employee without notice or pay in lieu of notice, unless the termination is for just cause. This is in contrast to the principle of employment-at-will commonly used in the United States.
