Dunno where you're from but in Iowa this couldn't be further from the truth. I have fired many a scrub and unless they have done something completely off the wall they always get unemployment, no matter how hard you fight it.
Edit: Also when looking through apps if I see a person has been terminated once on their recent work history (usually only 3 jobs most of the time spanning 7-8 years in my field) I won't for a second hold it against them, especially if they are honest in their description of the events which took place. I myself have been fortunate enough to never have been fired but circumstances can arise that are out of the employee's control and I am well aware of that. I have seen it happen alot. Now if the person has been fired from 3 consecutive jobs thats a different story there's obviously a problem there. The only place a termination might affect your chances of getting a job is with either the government or a contractor that either requires high security clearance or a government file.
From what I gather you're from Canada so I really don't even know how that works.
