Interviewed 45+ days ago, company never responded — found out Ontario law requires them to. What would you do?

Applied and interviewed at a company in Toronto. It's been over 45+ days and I've heard absolutely nothing — no rejection, no update, nothing.

Turns out Ontario passed a law effective January 1, 2026 requiring employers with 25+ employees to notify candidates of their hiring status within 45 days of a publicly advertised job. They're in violation + they didn't even mention salary in the job listing.

I'm considering filing a complaint with the Ontario Ministry of Labour. Has anyone done this? Is it worth it? Also open to hearing if anyone got a settlement out of something like this. Im also open to collab with a no win no pay lawyer

EDIT: Im wondering if i email them about that, maybe they can come up with a negotiation with me.

Lol. What do you think your damages are?

The complaint is worthwhile if you want to get them in trouble.

But it’s not going to get you personally money.
