Does my employer take taxes out of my pay?

Yes. Your employer can collect income tax and send it to the Canada Revenue Agency. Every year, your employer sends a record of how much you earned and how much income tax was withheld from your earnings and sent to the Canada Revenue Agency on your behalf. You get a copy of this information on a T4 slip. Your employer must give this to you by the end of February each year. Use the T4 to file your income tax return. Your income tax return is due before April 30 every year. You can get an income tax form at any Canada Post office.
