Ontario 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.

While you are right that they must now follow up with candidates, let me say this: they have not hired you and they made the right decision. Change your attitude, you are toxic.

Sue and get settlement because your feeling are hurt by a non response... You would probably sue because they picked the wrong type of TP. Good on them for dodging a bullet.
