The average Canadian may get their back up over paying for new Canadians to get health care but I would liken this to IQ. You have the bell curve with 100 being the median. With this, you will get the stupid folks who just don't understand the value the majority of immigrants bring to our country. Next, take the uninformed and outright racists/bigots who don't agree with paying for the new Canadians health care and the pool of average Canadian gets larger. Soon, this starts to look similar to the bell curve with a median point.
I have worked in many communities with people who have the ability to work yet take advantage of every social program they can to avoid working. I would rather pay for the health care of the immigrant who is coming to work and improve their life than the lazy and unmotivated.
