If your employment agreement prohibits you from competing with your employer or soliciting its customers after you leave, those restrictions may not be enforceable.

Non-competition agreements are generally unenforceable against Ontario employees. Many non-solicitation agreements may also be unenforceable.  Seek legal advice if you have signed such an agreement.
