I wanted to ask if anyone have any idea what is the name of that snack that can be seen on top of a salad, between burgers.

Burgers with snack

I know the name in my country, but now, in Canada I can't find it anywhere.

Appreciate any help!

This is funny because:
In English they are called " fried snacks" :) But it's a polish thing, they are called "przysmak świętokrzyski" or "crates". It's basically wheat flour (97,5%) and water. Then fried. I think there is only one company that make them https://www.wspspolem.com.pl/produkty/snack-przysmak-swietokrzyski/snack-kratka/ and although they write there are other shapes I have never ever seen anything beside crates.

BUT I have eaten something similar in England but they were sweet, it's called Jalebi.

I don't believe they have a name in English. A known brand name of a snack made from the same material is Pom Bears, but just like the grid thingies, it is very strongly associated with the shape, to the point where a snack with the same content but different shape will be considered to be a different "thing".

You can try calling them "crisps" but even in the UK, asking for crisps is likely to get you the non-puffy version, not any shape of the puffy one.

It looks like "Vada Pav".

Vada Pav

It's a typical Indian street dish consisting of spiced potato, deep-fried and served in a bun. Various sauces and toppings are common.
