You have hit the nail on the head. It should be emigrant.

But nevertheless it is the same man (but from different points of view) isn't it?

Hi LS,
Right. If I decided to leave for Canada, I would be emigrant for my country, people, but immigrant for Canadians.

Hello,

Thanks for the input.

Hi Amy,

You are right, I've made the change now and it will go online next week when Mr. Gromov returns to the office.
Thanks a lot for your help.
