I used to walk my ass down Hwy 10 to the A&W at 152 and 56 Ave like once a week for coupon lunch when I worked near there... I got to know the owner who was a younger east indian fellow... his sister, who owned franchises of her own that her parents got her seed money to start the first one, literally GAVE him the restaurant to run as a "show me" because he was constantly getting into trouble and didn't want to go to university, so she told him to do this and if he did a good job she'd gift it to him.
So, uhm, not really had work in that case... just a rich family and a very generous and patient sister.

It's selection bias. People that can come to Canada are the ones who can GRIND and make it no matter what. Whether the guys with MBAs and PhDs working in a no-degree necessary tech job or ones that work 5 McJobs to support their extended family back home. Cream de la creme rises and Canada/US/Aus/NZ/West love to skim off the top.

It's less to do with ethnicity and more to do with coming from a country with little opportunity to one where people are begging for workers.
If you watch the movie the founder, Ray Kroc first sold Mcdonald's franchises to rich people. Those locations did poorly because the owners did not care and would rather be playing golf. Then he started selling them to young families who put their life savings into them. They worked their asses off because if they didn't they would go broke.
