Debra, Expert
Hello and Welcome to JustAnswer. My name is***** will be working on your question today and I am looking forward to our conversation.
Debra, Expert
I am sorry to hear that sounds like you are in a difficult situation.
What is your specific legal question for me please?
Debra, Expert
Oh please don't worry that I don't know Montreal is in Quebec. I am in Canada!
Are you saying that your insurance company stopped paying you because you were able to return to school? Where does your company get the idea that you always see financial support?
But where did you hear that your employer cannot dismiss you for 24 months?
Debra, Expert
You should not resign. That is clear.
But, if you have returned to school and haven't returned to work your employer can take the position that you have a resigned or they can take the position that the contract has been frustrated and that you just aren't able to comply with its terms.
Your doctor doesn't have to sign off on anything with insurance company though. Your doctor is not their employee rather, you can use the medical reports from your doctor to fight their decision to cut you off.
So as you are dissatisfied with the decision of the insurance company you have to find out from them how you can appeal and then you should do just that.
It may be that you need a lawyer to step in and fight for you. What you can do to find a lawyer is one of the following things.
You can review the law society's suggestions on how to find a lawyer. Depending on where you live you may be able to consult with a lawyer for $25 for the first half hour:

Or you can check on a site called lexpert. This is a legal directory of leading lawyers and law firms throughout Canada and is well-respected by the legal community.
Here's the link to their website:

Does that help as a starting point?
Debra, Expert
Oh I understand fully. But you need to understand everyone around you doesn't want to pay you. So you have to fight because the insurance company want you gone and now the employer wants you gone.
Debra, Expert
That all sounds like a great plan. You will have some money and school is vital for you.
You don't want to be placed in a situation where you are stuck with an unfair employer and a bad work situation simply because you did not go to law school in Canada. You are clearly more intelligent and more well educated than most and it must be unbearably frustrating to have an employer who has power over you and isn't intelligent or well educated.
I sincerely ***** ***** works out for you smoothly.
