Entrepreneurial Drive and Canada

immigrants: I've also taken notice of the entrepreneurial drive that newcomers to Canada have, according to Huffington Post Canada. I recently read that immigrants are officially leading Canadians in entrepreneurship, according to a newly released Stats Can study. I've always been impressed by their spirit, drive and willingness to take risks. It the first to look at the business-ownership activities of immigrants and, among the findings, it shows that of those who arrived to Canada in 2000, 5.3 per cent of immigrant tax-filers owned a private business by 2010, versus 4.8 per cent in the non-immigrant comparison group. Small business owners assume many roles -- from manager of sales and marketing to finance, HR and more. The challenge can be finding time to manage these day-to-day operations and grow the business. Getting a business off the ground takes many long hours and hard work -- but as any entrepreneur knows, it doesn't end there. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
