Are ethnic business owners in Canada limited to minority oriented government grants?

There are a number of government small business grants offered by the Canadian government for ethnic minority applicants. However, they are not your only options. Your minority status does not prevent you from applying for general small business grants, from the Canadian government or private sources, for example, and keep in mind you can also apply for national government minority-specific and general small business grants. On top of that, there are also loan programs to provide funding.
