sending country

A "sending country" is a nation from which people move abroad to work, study, or live temporarily or permanently. It is the country of origin for emigrants or migrants before they leave. For example, if someone from India moves to Canada for a job, India is the sending country. The term is used in discussions about migration, visas, and international labor to identify the home country of migrants. This concept helps governments and organizations understand migration patterns and manage the needs and rights of migrants from different nations.
