The Canadian and Ontario electrical codes require a fridge to have its
own dedicated circuit. (Actually, you're allowed to have an additional
outlet above the fridge location, on the same circuit, for a 120V AC
electric clock, which isn't commonly used or provided these days.) If
there are other things on the fridge circuit, you should remove them
if it's under your control. If these other items aren't under your
control, you should inform your landlord that it's a violation of the
electrical code.
The electrical code generally will allow wiring that met the code when
it was installed to stay.
That being said it is likely that the work that was done to build an
apartment was done while a more current electrical code was in effect.
So you could report the violation but that would not endear you to your
landlord and possibly not end well for either of you.
