In Canada -- just so you don't feel mislead.
The story is finally blowing up because of prospective and former Canadian fast food and restaurant workers speaking out. Long story short, Canadian citizens are being replaced by Temporary Foreign Workers (TFWs) meant to fill in for a shortage of workers with special skills. I think the equivalent is the H1B Visa in the US of A.
