As for the workplace, observant Muslims use the exact same time as other employees to do whatever they want to do. Some employees have a coffee or a smoke in either one of the 15-minute breaks that are common in just about every company. Some have lunch in their lunch hour. Muslim employees can use that same time to pray if they want to - it only takes 5 minutes - or they can go home at the end of the day and pray if they want to. For our weekly Mass that is held on Fridays, we typically ask our employer to adjust our lunch time so that it fits with the prayers at the closest mosque, or we ask for an empty room that's not being used. The employer isn't paying us for extra time out of the office, nor are we given extra time that others aren't. 

I suggest you get to know a wide variety of Muslims in order to educate yourself about this small minority (less than 3%) in Canada, all of us whom have a wide range of opinions on everything just like you do.
