Here in Canada your employer can not fire you for taking a leave. As long as you have a Dr's note or government note saying you can not work for how ever long, there is nothing they can do. And while you are on your leave, they can not fire you. When your leave is over, they have to hire you back. But keep in mind, they can hire you back, and a week down the road they can "lay you off".

I wasn't offered the Family Medical Leave Act when I became sick at work and was forced to take a week vacation. I was later fired after being late due to being sick. Can I receive unemployment?

More information is needed to answer this question. But it appears your question has nothing to do with leave and it sounds like you were fired after you returned to work from leave due to being late. Assuming this to be the case, then the answer of course depends on your State's law, but in general I would say no. You being late would probably be considered misconduct (a violation of a reasonable policy your employer has the right to expect from you). This would be a reason for denial of unemployment.
