To explain for those not in Canada… It is usual in Canada for a job to start with a low level of PTO an then add a week every few years that you stay with the company. This usually is capped at 6 weeks.
You can, of course negotiate an amount of PTO when you accept a job. Someone coming into a more senior position wouldn’t expect to start with just two weeks of PTO.
You usually don’t get holidays for the first year. After that you start with two weeks. It usually takes much longer to get another week and you might get 4 weeks after 10 years, 15 years in many cases.
Fortunately for me, my bosses respect me and when they couldn’t get me the pay bump I wanted they gladly hooked me up with time off instead.
Canada - Four weeks vacation. Five and a half years with the company.

Thanks for adding context.

I have never heard of not getting holidays for the first year. Not sure they could even legally do that 🤔
