A no employer can force you to work at all - employer can demand, but cannot compel. If you don't work as employer demands, it decides whether to fire you or not. No force is involved.

Is overtime optional?

That depends on the company. Some companies don't allow overtime, while others require employees to work overtime on a regular basis. Hourly paid employees, especially fast food workers, clerks, and cashiers are usually not allowed to work overtime because the companies don't want to pay the extra money. Salaried employees (those that make a set monthly or yearly amount no matter how many hours they work) are often required to work overtime, with no extra pay for it. As far as the law goes, no, overtime is not optional. Your employer has the right to keep you at work passed 8 hours if they chose to. If you have a union, your collective agreement often contains a clause that makes overtime optional.
