The government doesn't "favour new Canadians over old ones." That's crap.

The government offers funding to new immigrants because they lack many of the social networks that people who were raised and educated here possess. Also, it's a pretty good investment, as immigrants have a stronger entrepreneurial bone than the average Canadian, due to self-selecting as go-getters (i.e. emigrating).

Sorry, immigrants make better entrepreneurs? Is this a fact or just something you pulled out of thin air? Not to mention the fact that allowing only immigrants to benefit from this is discriminatory and directly contradicts your first sentence. What about all the potential native entrepreneurs that might not get their chance to shine due to not being given the same advantages as the foreigners? You should work for government, I think you would fit right in.
