I've never heard of anyone getting knocked back for that reason.  I have just 
moved to Toronto from Australia.

Actually, I haven't had that problem here either though, but maybe they reject 
my resume on that basis, but don't tell me so.

I am currently working for the Ontario government (iServ) and from my 
colleagues,  I gather they don't have that problem either.
