Can I get government grants for college but use if for my small business instead?

If you are looking for small business funding through the loans for the Canadian government grants and loans programs for small businesses, then you would not attempt to get government grants for college. This is a totally separate venue. To get government grants for college and then utilize these funds for small business is not that the mandate of those particular grants. However, if you are a college student that has a business you very well may be able to apply for small business funding by way of grants or loans through the Canadian Government small business funding programs.
