The contemporary era has aptly been defined to be the era of technological advancement, which has revolutionized every aspect of individual and collective human life. Communication has particularly witnessed a tremendous boost in the wake of technological revolution, resulting in the abridging of long and exhausting distances and turning the world into a global village. Consequently, it has become very comfortable for the people to travel wide for a superior job, education, business and health prospects from the poor Asian, African and Far East countries to the USA, Canada, Australia, and central Europe in order to lead a happy, prosperous and high-quality life by becoming permanent residents of these countries after obtaining citizenship and immigrant status at there.

Hence, the people associated with different professions and active in their occupational life maintain the tendencies to migrate to foreign countries. The percentage is almost one and the same for both the gender groups, though males observe a slight edge in respect of migration.
