My parents received a notice from the federal government CIC office to write the citizenship exam. The company (the supervisor not the company itself) that my dad works for refused to give him a paid holiday. I thought that any federal government “request to appear” notices for things like jury duty, citizenship exam, etc automatically consider to me a mandatory holiday. I mean if a person is reporting to Government of Canada, the Canadian companies are obligated to give paid holiday for that day or period. Please give me some advice. I think my parents have faced discrimination in this company. I need to make sure the Government of Canada position on this before do anything. So, is a person is entitle to paid holidays for Canadian Federal Government orders? Any, information is highly appreciated.
