You can't get unemployment if you quit unless there's some pretty serious reasons why you're quitting. In Alberta you're supposed to get notice or pay in lieu of notice if you're terminated for other than good cause. For something like theft or insubordination, they can fire you on the spot. If you're leaving it's common to give notice but if they want you gone NOW, they have to pay you for the notice period.
I didn't realize you were in Canada. Here in Missouri (to my understanding at least), if you give notice and they tell you to leave now, it is the same as firing you without cause. But, you can only collect unemployment for the notice period. Here, I don't know that you can get any unemployment if you quit (regardless of circumstances), but I'm not sure on that.
