If you have a plan of where your small business is going, it will be easier to find a grant that can help you on your way. There are a wealth of grants offered each year from the provincial, local and national tiers of government, each with their own qualifications and terms of applicability. If you find Canada government grants you can use and think you have a good chance of getting, make sure you qualify, and then you can go about choosing which ones you wish to write proposals for.
