Overtime

I live in Nova Scotia and worked for a lobster processing company. For October 2018 to January 2020. Many weeks I worked 60-80 hours a week. But we never got paid overtime. I am legally entitled to overtime? Can I go back and see if I can get the overtime? It will be between $15,000-$20000.

Just move on with your life. If you were so concerned about it, why wait until now? Many industries have seasonal "busy" times where the employees work long hours. This sounds like one of them. Either way, the first week you did this and didn't get paid overtime rates you could have researched and found out your answer, couldn't you?
