Re: Emigrating out of Lebanon - General Questions

Hello, in 2019 I had a work contract in Quebec and had started all the necessary steps for securing a temporary work permit in relation to this contract, as directed by the company.

In dec 2020 we were waiting for the last step so that I can leave for Canada and join the company when they notified me that they were "canceling the contract" which I'm pretty sure is a breach of contract.

So it's been a while but I still want to see if there is anything I can do to get my rights back, at least some compensation for all the time that I spent preparing the paperwork and for loss of income.

I'm back in Beirut so not sure how to proceed. I know I should probably talk to a lawyer but does anyone has any specific tips, maybe for one that would be affordable?

I'd start by reading the contract myself in detail and making sure there isn't any clause in there that allows them to cancel the contract for any reason.

IIRC, here in Germany, you cannot retract a contract once signed but they can fire you on the first day of probation.
