Some come on temporary work visas, others on international-student permits. Some are on a pathway to permanent residency, while others claim refugee status as soon as they arrive at customs. All of them want safety, prosperity and freedom. To document these newcomers in their first few months in Canada, photojournalist Ian Brown spent weeks reaching out to settlement agencies, refugee centres and community groups. He met people fleeing the Taliban in Afghanistan, Ukrainian refugees who left their families in a war zone and young professionals from India seeking better education and job prospects. He criss-crossed the Greater Toronto Area, photographing them in the neighbourhoods they now call home. \u201cEveryone I met was resolved and committed to bettering their lives and integrating into Canadian society,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image __wrap__QxLwh aligndefault\"><img alt=\"JULY 2024_THE NEW ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY BY IAN BROWN166\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:640px) 100vw,(max-width:1024px) 100vw,100vw\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN166.jpeg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"block-d04b688e-f9ec-4535-931e-a307fb84890a\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Rashid_Rashidi_and_Gulshan_Mosleh\"><\/span><strong>Rashid Rashidi and Gulshan Mosleh<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\"><strong>COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: <\/strong>Afghanistan<br \/><strong>ARRIVED IN CANADA: <\/strong>June 2022<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">Rashidi and Mosleh left Afghanistan with their son when the government collapsed and they no longer felt safe.

Hrek now works at a biochemical lab in London, Ontario. Her biggest challenge will be getting permanent residency. \u201cThe government puts up a lot of obstacles. They calculate everything: are you married, do you have Canadian education, do you have Canadian work experience,\u201d she says. \u201cI feel safe now. I see my future here, and I hope it will become reality.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image __wrap__QxLwh aligndefault\"><img alt=\"JULY 2024_THE NEW ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY BY IAN BROWN168\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" style=\"color:transparent\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width:640px) 100vw,(max-width:1024px) 100vw,100vw\" srcset=\"\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=640&amp;q=75 640w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=750&amp;q=75 750w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=828&amp;q=75 828w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=1080&amp;q=75 1080w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=1200&amp;q=75 1200w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=1920&amp;q=75 1920w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=2048&amp;q=75 2048w, \/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75 3840w\" src=\"https:\/\/macleans.ca\/_next\/image\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcms.macleans.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F06%2FJULY-2024_THE-NEW-ARRIVALS_PHOTOGRAPHY-BY-IAN-BROWN168.jpeg&amp;w=3840&amp;q=75\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Iryna_Kukhta\"><\/span><strong>Iryna Kukhta<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\"><strong>COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: <\/strong>Ukraine<br \/><strong>ARRIVED IN CANADA:<\/strong> November 2022<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block wp-block-core\">\n<p class=\"\">In May of 2022, Kukhta came to Canada to do a short internship.
