But Europe isn't the only place that's seen a large influx of migrants in recent years.

In a recent research report, RBC Capital Markets analysts shared this map showing net migration across the world.

Countries that are in blue have seen a net influx of migrants, while those in red have seen more people leave the country than enter. The darker the color, the greater the population change.
