List of sovereign states and dependent territories by immigrant population
This is a list of countries by immigrant population. Foreign-born population is not the same as immigrant population, as there are births of citizens abroad who work or travel overseas, as well as non-immigrants who reside in a country temporarily for work or other reasons.
As of 2013, the United States has the largest population of migrants of any country. China has the world's lowest population of migrants as a percentage of its population.
