According to the United Nations Population Division, an international migrant is someone who has been living for one year or longer in a country other than the one in which he or she was born. This means that many foreign workers and international students are counted as migrants.
Migrants have both an origin and a destination; international migrants can be viewed from two directions – as an emigrant (leaving an origin country) or as an immigrant
(entering a destination country).
