16 year old trying to get a Non-compensating 1 month internship in Toronto

I am a 16 year old seeking an internship at any IB firm,hedge fund or wealth management. I have emailed and left voice messages to around 15-30 Asset Management firm's. I have only gotten one message back. Its been a month and summer is fast approaching.I am confused and don't know what to do at the moment.The all say it is something the are not interested in now.I believe that they think i will not be able to add anything to their respective firms or tarnish their public image. I am self-studying my self in Micro and Macro economics.I write my own equity research and also a very value oriented investment ideology . I also believe in applying a fundamental and technical approach towards analyzing securities.. How can the firms know this about me if the end the call 10 secs in.

 

I am Prince Fayed W. Bolkiah, the eldest son of Prince Jeffrey Bolkiah former finance minister of Brunei.

Obligated to give you advice since we're from the same bubble of a town (you might want to conceal your personal information in the future). Forget about reaching out to firms, focus on a few projects that' your interested in (nonprofit, volunteering, small start-ups, etc.) and getting tangible results. Continue reading and learning from people. Attend conferences if you get the chance to just absorb the culture. Good luck.
