In Canada, punters do not have protection if:
1. They are not in a normal kicking position.
2. They leave their kicking spot.
3. They make a motion to pass.
(Note also that in Canada, anyone can punt the ball anywhere on field including over the LOS or by the defence after a turnover.)

I saw this on the last play of the Grey Cup this year. Now I know why it is not a foul. However, why would the QB choose to kick when he was in trouble? What could the offense do with a kick downfield that could possibly help his team?
