I don't know why Ontario doesn't maintain international labour laws. I don't know either Ontario is too flexible or doesn't have any laws about labour.
Most of the immigrant who comes to Canada stays in Ontario. So, Ontario has a huge amount of immigrant labours. Who are high educated (Mostly) and in need of money to survive. This is the perfect situation to play with labourers' life.
The companies who recruit labours have their own rules of distributing working hours and giving over time. According to the international labour law, if any working works more than 8 hours a day, that person will get overtime pay. Ontario companies don't follow that (As far as I know). They collect the total week's working hours or 2 weeks working hours.
International law is if any worker works more than 40 hours in a week, that person will get overtime pay. I didn't see that happening in Ontario. Some companies count 45 hours in a week, some companies count 95 hours in two weeks, then they consider giving overtime pay.
If any person needs to come early, like 15 minutes early to get ready for the companies work, then this time should be included in payment. I have seen only McDonald's counts each minute after signing in. Not all companies consider extra payment all over Canada.
When people decided to live in a better place, they always consider Canada to live in. So, I believe if Canada improves the worker's life a bit more, more skilled people will consider migrating to Canada and help to make this country grow fast in every single way, like economically, socially, technologically etc.
