    Immigrant = Someone who has moved to another country permanently. Migrant = Someone who has moved to another country temporarily.

    Expat is often used by western migrants who don’t like the word “migrant”.

    I take issue with it because people classify an Indian doctor moved to the US as a migrant but an American doctor eho has moved to Europe is an expat.
