1. OP's first ever post
2. Posted once on this thread and never came back - if it was genuine he'd be answering the questions at least.
3. I'm the mildest-mannered person on here and my first reaction would have been a sarcastic "are you serious"?
There is, of course, the question of whether or not the Visa system was abused, in the replacement of a worker. They're not really allowed to do that ya know
People have many reasons for not telling you the truth. Rarely is it because they lack the cojones to speak honestly. Usually, it's because they are either hiding something (in the case of replacing you with an ICT) or because they don't want to hurt your feelings.
The OP said they gave notice because the work was finished. What the OP didn't say was whether in their opinion, it was actually finished. That should provide a clue. If the work the OP was taken on to do was finished early and the other bod was parachuted in to do something else then there is no issue. If the work wasn't finished, why didn't the OP discuss that at the time they were notified and at least before they left?

I second that. I mean, how is it "unfair"? Either they adhere to the terms of the contract, or they didn't. In this case, they were obligated (under the contract) to give you a week's notice of termination of said contract, which they duly did.
Now, the reason as to why they did that is neither here nor there. You're not an employee. They can terminate your contract (with the contractual notice period given) just because they don't like the look of your face, or if the wind is blowing in the wrong direction if they please!
Was on a 6 month contract. Given a weeks notice as per contract in month 5. Told thanks for all the good work, did a great job but was not needed anymore as my work was complete.
Found out another contractor has been moved from another country to replace me and the work i was doing. Apparently he was unhappy working in other country.
Whilst under contract the company paid for certain things for me such as hotel.
