The government is supposed to provide assistance and help to people in need regardless of their immigration status. The government also provides certain services, such as education and medical treatment, that are not dependent on immigration status. The main reason the government helps new immigrants move here is likely due to their need for basic necessities which cannot be supplied by family or friends when they first arrive - such as financial, healthcare, and educational aid. On the other hand, low-income individuals who have been living in the same country for years may receive some support from their own governments or international organizations under local laws and agreements.

The government provides various forms of support for immigrants, such as providing resources to aid integration into a new culture and the labour market, in part due to their potential contribution to the economy. Additionally, many immigration programs are geared towards those who have specific skills or who can make financial contributions, helping stimulate economic development and job creation. At the same time, various forms of assistance are available to those born in Canada through public services like healthcare and social welfare programs designed for individuals with low income or special needs which may require extra support. Overall it is about finding an balance between assisting incoming migrants on one hand while still uplifting those who have been here since birth on the other.
