A Commissioner does not certify that statements being made in the affidavits or statutory declaration are true, but only certifies that an oath or solemn affirmation has been administered properly.

If you are fired without a good reason, it is not wrongful dismissal under Ontario employment law. Generally, employers are permitted to fire employees at any time, provided that: they do not do so for an illegal reason; and they give the employee the appropriate notice or money when they do so. If you are terminated for cause and the cause is found to be valid, the termination is not wrongful. Wrongful dismissal occurs when an employee is dismissed by their employer without reasonable notice. The reason for the dismissal itself may be valid, but if the amount of notice provided is insufficient, the dismissal can be considered wrongful. Rarely does an employer have cause to terminate an employee without notice. For this reason, the ESA provides minimum amounts to be paid by the employer to the terminated employee. This notice may be provided as working notice, by salary continuance in lieu of notice, or as a lump sum payment in lieu of notice.
