Not only calamities are the reason behind grand migrations, but also the opening of opportunities that are far better than those at home. Advantageous conditions lure people to carry their luggage and go through great lengths of instability and adversity, hoping to achieve a better future for themselves and their families.

A similar small migration is taking place in various places around the world, but mainly it's indoors migration or migration within the same country. Most noticeably, is the eastward migration of Canadians from the big cities to the Atlantic seaboard.
