Nobody can force you to continue to work if you are sick. If you are there less than 2 years, you can quit your job at any time with one week notice. Does it say anything about this in your contract? I have worked for an employer who made contracts with foreign workers stating that if they quit before the end of the contract, they would be liable to pay the cost the employer had to pay in order to hire them. These contracts were illegal and nobody who quit ever had to pay.

If you need more info about your rights, you should phone the employment standards in AB:
