An immigrant and an emmigrant both move from one country (state) to another permanently. It depends on your perspective as to which one applies.
An immigrant is someone who moves IN to your country.
An emmigrant is someone who moves OUT of your country.

It's cause and effect...
You are an immigrant of the place you are going to, and an emmigrant of the place you have left.

IMMIGRANT:
1. a person who migrates to another country, usually for permanent residence.
2. an organism found in a new habitat.
EMIGRANT:
1. a person who emigrates, as from his or her native country or region: They welcomed the emigrants from Italy.
Hmm, not a lot of difference there! So you can call someone who moves in from another country an immigrant, an emigrant or a migrant!!!

When you look at me, for you I'm an immigrant ('cause I came in your country from my country;) when I come in your country from my country, I'm an emmigrant.

You immigrate TO a place, but you emigrate FROM a place.
For example: Bob immigrated to Canada. Bob emigrated from China. Bob is a Chinese-Canadian. In Canada, Bob is an immigrant. In China, Bob is an emigrant.
BTW, only one "m" in "emigrant."

Here's an easy way to remember:
Immigrant = In (both begin with "I")
Emigrant = Exit (begin with "E")
It's from Latin, In and Ex being the words for enter and exit.
