'Canada is the creator and nurturer of third culture kids,' he said in an interview. His hope, he said, is that the publication will reflect the diverse backgrounds of immigrants in the country and challenge stereotypes amid a recent rise in newcomers arriving in Canada.
'There are many newcomers that come here that are wealthy, that are professionals, and I think the missed opportunity for Canada is we treat them all as if they only have $10 in their pocket,' Srinarayanathas said.
The magazine's co-founder and co-publisher, Muraly Srinarayanathas, is one of them: he has Sri Lankan-Tamil heritage, was born in the U.K., and came to Canada when he was seven years old.
Statistics Canada says the country's population grew by 3.2 per cent in 2023, the highest rate since 1957. Around 97.6 per cent of that population growth was the result of immigration.
