Can any guru, help a guy out?

I worked for almost 2 months here in Toronto. I recently arrived as a PR. I felt I was blessed when I got a job after only 2 weeks of landing. Now here's the catch. I work at a clinic that serves recovering addicts and needless to say it can be pretty hectic, when they arrive en masse to get their FREE meds. This is an environment that's familiar to me as I worked as a pharmacist before coming here. I have to adjust with the software and filling though as it is a new system and workflow. I have been doing better now after almost 2 months and I am somehow competent but still not as fast (as my co worker is impressively fast.)

I worked for almost 2 months here in Toronto. I recently arrived as a PR. I felt I was blessed when I got a job after only 2 weeks of landing. Now here's the catch. I work at a clinic that serves recovering addicts and needless to say it can be pretty hectic, when they arrive en masse to get their FREE meds. This is an environment that's familiar to me as I worked as a pharmacist before coming here. I have to adjust with the software and filling though as it is a new system and workflow. I have been doing better now after almost 2 months and I am somehow competent but still not as fast (as my co worker is impressively fast.) Now my employer has not been giving me my wages for 2 months and bills are creeping up to me. I have provided them with my SIN and bank details earlier this month and they still didn't give me any salary. Now, common sense dictates that I ruffle some feathers but I kinda was feeling thankful for them by giving me a job that fast. Now I have these options as I see it:

A.) I quit after this month after demanding my wages which was discussed already before hiring me.

B.) Weather it out and hope by next week I got my salary and stay as I'm kinda thankful for them.

C.) Report them to the immigration or worker agency for exploitation as clearly there's an exploitation that happened, after I get my salary and quit.

I want to be as civil and professional as possible. But I am well aware that I have disadvantages credential wise as I just got here. This event really made me have trust issues with everyone as this is a first job here and I feel that I am working at a disadvantage and people are secretly against me. I should really just think for myself but that defeats the purpose of coming here and living a full life right? Can you guys give insight?
