The politically inconvenient facts are that certain immigrants/refugees do better than others due to key factors in their general cultural background that allows them to assimilate and progress in our society better than others.

For example, if you look at Asians, they value education and have a strong mercantile attitude--they tend to take risks in opening up businesses. And when Asians settle here they tend to jettison some of the weird aspects of their culture and adapt to our culture better. Among peoples from the middle east, the Jewish community value education and have a strong mercantile flavor.

A lot of Russians who come to Canada value education and tend to try out their mercantile leanings.

South Asians like the Indians value education and tend to be mercantilistic.

It is obvious what we need to promote in terms of valuable feedstock immigrants/refugees we have to attract.

You want peoples who can assist in our GDP growth and not be a hindrance to it.
