For safety reasons and various legalities, Canadian National Railway Company needs to perform stringent background checks, which may include, but are not limited to, employment verification. The hiring authority needs to know that you are trustworthy and not a liability.

Being terminated or let go can be a stressful life event; however, it happens to many people every day, and often for situations that are out of our control. It's best to own up to it if you have ever lost your job. Be brief in your explanation, but also let the interviewer know what you learned from the situation.
