Cheated by a contractor in Toronto

I recently met a contractor named Francesco I was asking him about work and he told me to come work with him the very next day. I took his number and messaged him on my way home. During our conversation he asked where i lived and i said Brampton he said would be able to pick me up on queen st at 6:45, i then let him know that I was working in a cabinet shop and would like to finish the week mainly as insurance to make sure I have a back up paycheck. He said it was fine and I would start on a Monday, when Monday came I got to the location he sent me and from 6:30-7:30 he was nowhere to be seen. I finally got a hold of him just to find out that the job was in new market I tried to make it work the next day because its the only opportunity I had. The next i got to site to find out everyone only speaks Spanish, i managed to figure out what im doing an learn from watching the other workers most frustrating day of my life but i beared with it. After a 10h shift I got to sit down with the boss for him to think its alright to short me said he doesn't know how I work so he can only offer me 20/h after glorifying my skills the week before discussing my resume. When I asked him if he could budge on the wage he basically told me I shouldn't have left my old company, now im out of work or i can continue to work for pennies i honestly dont know what to do
