The "U" and "C" levels you're talking about are for Grade 11 and 12. I'll check to see what they have for those who want to work straight out of high school. I'm positive that there's something out there.
ETA: There is a workplace stream. Information on Ontario's high school curriculum can be found here: http://www.edu.gov.on.ca/eng/documen.../choosing.html

Well that doesn't seem to be doing any good. I still think they should bring back the levels of basic, general and, advanced.
Or do destreaming again for grade 9 and if it's "too hard" they take the basic, or general, or advanced level courses starting in grade 10. Really it just amazes me that Ontario has such a big problem.
