For example, in London you have Polish immigrants, working in bars, and American ex-pats working in investment banks. What makes one an ex-pat and one a immigrant?

An ex pat is more of a person looking for a temporary residence and an immigrant wants something more permanent

An ex-pat strikes to a diverse united states for in ordinary terms amusement motives, oftentimes a retired individual, has the money, and needs to have experience far off from the domicile united states. An immigrant oftentimes strikes for financial or political motives, very practically as a final motel.

An immigrant has come to a foreign country to live -- permanently. An expatriate is someone living in a foreign country on a temporary basis with no intention of spending the rest of his or her life there.

They are opposites. An immigrant is one who comes into a country and an ex-pat(riot) is one who leaves a country.

An immigrant just lives there. An expat lives there but works for a living there too.
