A refugee is a fugitive from death due to wars, financial crises, poverty and famine, and is subject to the refugees's laws under the supervision of the United Nations. However, the migrant fled for the same reasons but had freedom of movement from one country to another and was not subject to refugees's laws.

UNHCR defines an economic migrant as "who has voluntarily left his country to seek a better life and is protected by his or her national Government", while the refugee is defined as the "person who has no choice but to flee the country because of the Threat of persecution ".

The 1951 Refugee Convention states that a refugee is "a person who is outside his or her country of habitual residence or residence because of a justified fear of being persecuted because of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group, To a political opinion and can not because of that fear or does not want to take refuge in the protection or return to the country for fear of persecution "

The agreement included "refugee protection", which states that "the protection of refugees" rests with the host governments, and the 139 countries worldwide that have signed the 1951 Convention are obliged to implement their provisions. To ensure that honest refugees are granted asylum and not forced to return to countries where their lives are in danger.

The Agency seeks ways to help refugees start their lives again, either through voluntary repatriation or, if not possible, resettlement through host countries or third countries.

migrant:

In the simplest explanation of the word, a migrant is a person who leaves a place and goes to another, to live for more than a year.

According to the International Organization for Migration, the number of legal migrants reaches about 232 million annually, and about 740 million other migrants, moving within their own countries.

There are many reasons why people migrate, who migrate to work, to find a job, or a better life, are called economic migrants, international students are immigrants, those who migrate for family reasons, especially those who leave because of war or persecution, Of immigrants can be a mixture of all these reasons.

Migrants from outside the European Union must comply with all immigration laws and must obtain a visa to enter an EU country, including Britain. They can not work or have immediate housing. They can also be imprisoned if they violate any immigration law, In the end to obtain a permit to stay on the territory of the homeland, and enjoy the benefits.

Refugee:

A refugee is a person who leaves his country after a conflict or armed conflict, suffering from political or military persecution and needs international assistance or support, because the situation would be dangerous if he returned to his homeland.

They are dealt with in accordance with the 1951 Refugee Law, which defines their basic rights. The first principle is that they should not be expelled or prevented from entering if there are threats to their lives in their country.

Student asylum:

Countries that are committed to applying for asylum undertake not to return their asylum seekers to their countries. According to the Refugee Convention, the country must ensure that asylum seekers arrive safely in its territory and must take adequate measures to protect them and provide them with a decent life.

A migrant moves. Usually from their own country to another country for many different reasons, change.of scenery , change of climate, change of air quality. It in intended to be an apolitical term.

Refugee is someone seeking refuge from someone or something usually for political or social reasons.

a refugee will move due to a variety of reasons,like wars,diseases,or other natural desasters,while on the other hand migrant most of the time migrates in terms of jobs,facilities,environmental situations etc.

'Migrant' refers to temperory residing in non-native 'Nation' with subjective interest.

'Refusee' is forceful propulsion by native 'Nation' & under mercy shelter is offered by any other 'Nation'. Such people in other nation are known as 'Refusee'

Refugees and migrants! One thing common, Both have to suffer a long way, only the extent of suffering differs.

A refugee is someone who has been forced to flee his or her home country because of armed conflict or persecution. Syrians are a prime example.

The U.N.'s definition of refugee is someone who, "owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality, and is unable to, or owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country."

Migrants, however, are processed under the receiving country's immigration laws. So, ultimately, these terms have major implications for those seeking asylum and the countries being asked to grant it.

A migrant is someone who chooses to resettle to another country in search of a better life.

For example, those fleeing poverty in Nigeria, looking for work in Europe, would not have refugee status and would be considered migrants.

A very good question! I agree with my RG colleagues, Hamid Gadouri and Marwan Khaleel Yousif respectively.

To me An Immigrant can be A Citizen after passing the Immigration process.

A refugee is a one who take refugee from Oppression from his own country might need to go back to his own country when time is good. Regards

Interesting Question. I think RG experts have given the best explanations.

The first is to be forced out of his home and the latter is somewhat voluntary

The terms are often used interchangeably. A migrant is someone who chooses to move, and a refugee is someone who has been forced from their home.

Refugees comprise a subset of migrants. In other words, all refugees are migrants but only some migrants legally qualify for refugee status; and of those, only some - for various reasons - actually apply for it.

Whether a migrant is a refugee is a question of fact and law. In particular circumstances, the answer to the question varies considerably depending upon which national law applies.

Conventions on the rights of refugees are international law sources which guide and restrict the content of corresponding national laws. National refugee laws are more variable than the applicable international law envisages because not every country signs or ratifies each convention. Moreover, the fact that a country has ratified a convention does not necessarily mean that it will comply with its international obligations.

In practice, a migrant who successfully flees from persecution in one country and wishes to apply for refugee status in another country first must deal with the second country's refugee policy - which might (unlawfully) prevent an application for refugee status being made at all. Australia, for example, is notorious for physically removing from its migration zone migrants fleeing persecution who qualify as refugees under Australian law.

A refugee is a person who meets certain eligibility criteria set out by international law. At the global level, the 1951 Refugee Convention defines a refugee as a person who, owing to a well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, political opinion or membership of a particular social group, is outside the country of nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself or herself of the protection of that country.

There is no single definition of migrant. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies’ (IFRC) policy on migration describes migrants as people who leave or flee their places of habitual residence to go to a new place, across international borders or within their own state, to seek better or safer prospects. Migration can be forced or voluntary, but most of the time a combination of choices and constraints are involved, as well as the intent to live abroad for an extended period of time. Therefore, the IFRC policy definition of migrant includes, among others, labour migrants, stateless migrants, and migrants deemed irregular by public authorities.

A migrant is a person who makes a conscious choice to leave their country to seek a better life elsewhere. Before they decide to leave their country, migrants can seek information about their new home, study the language and explore employment opportunities. They can plan their travel, take their belongings with them and say goodbye to the important people in their lives. They are free to return home at any time if things don’t work out as they had hoped, if they get homesick or if they wish to visit family members and friends left behind.

Refugees are forced to leave their country because they are at risk of, or have experienced persecution. The concerns of refugees are human rights and safety, not economic advantage. They leave behind their homes, most or all of their belongings, family members and friends. Some are forced to flee with no warning and many have experienced significant trauma or been tortured or otherwise ill-treated. The journey to safety is fraught with hazard and many refugees risk their lives in search of protection. They cannot return unless the situation that forced them to leave improves.
