I've never heard the term Canadian HQ internally at Cisco. There's corporate HQ in San Jose, some business units have separate HQs (my business unit has a SF HQ as we're an acquisition), and we do have designated major centres (which Toronto is not, but Ottawa (Kanata) is).
Our Canadian offices page doesn't suggest any office is above others. The closest Toronto gets to special attention is being listed as the "Customer Briefing Centre".
As far as I know, from friends that work there, Google is similar. There's no internal designation of country HQ, or status associated with it.
