Not really, temporary farm workers in US are called immigrants. People on temporary visas are called immigrants in US, Canada and UK. Unless of course they’re European expats on the same visas. The textbook definition may suggest what you’re saying but the cultural usage is absolutely not that.

I mean, H1-B workers are called immigrants by the USCIS as well. But they call themselves expats.
