The first documented instance of a resident of Earth-Two migrating to Earth-One was Dinah "Black Canary" Lance. It was later revealed that this was, in fact, the daughter of the original Canary who had perished along with her husband when they along with her allies in the Justice Society faced Aquarius. During her final moment alive, Dinah recalled her long-lost daughter, Dinah Laurel, who had been kept in a blissful dreamlike state within the Thunderbolt Dimension as she had been afflicted with an uncontrollable sonic cry. Now implanted with her mother's memories, Dinah "Junior" journeyed to Earth-One, where she became a member of the Justice League. Soon after, she discovered her canary cry superpower, and also became a romantic relationship with fellow Leaguer Oliver "Green Arrow" Queen.
Known as a bit of a ladies man, Oliver had previously had other romances including with a woman named Bonnie King, who was secretly known as Arrowette. However, with Dinah, Ollie truly believed he had finally found true love. Despite the pair's conflicting communication styles, they were nearly inseparable, both on League missions and together defending Star City. However, several months after first arriving on her adopted world, Black Canary believe that she was the catalyst of a merging between both Earths!
In fact, the true culprit was the insidious alien architect known as Creator2. Seeking to destroy Earth-Two in order to spawn a new world for another alien race, he used the cyclonic abilities of the android Society member known as Red Tornado to merge both Earths One and Two together. This resulted in various cosmic twins linking together, such as the Supermen, the Flashs, the Hawkmen and the Green Lanterns.
The question remains, if Black Canary's presence could potentially upset the delicate balance between both universes, was there a compensatory migration of someone from Earth-One's universe into Earth-Two's? This was the case, a few years later, when M'La* left the reality Canary now resided in for the reality she was originally from.
This occurred when M'La's husband Zalaz used the Starheart from Earth-Two's reality to revive her from a coma. Seeking to contain and safeguard the Starheart's energies, M'La merged with it** and returned to the star it was originally from... a star handpicked by the Guardians of the Universe in Earth-Two's universe.

Of interesting note is that on this occasion, the Green Lanterns of both Earths... Hal Jordan and Alan Scott along with Green Arrow were stunned by M'La's beauty. While Hal and Alan stared at her features, Oliver looked away, wishing to preserve in his mind that the most beautiful woman he had ever seen... was his beloved Dinah! And he wasn’t the first man captivated by Dinah’s beauty, both inside and out, as his fellow Justice Leaguer Batman briefly had a romantic encounter with the Canary.
* M'La's doppelgänger in the Earth-Two universe was a princess named Cinderella from a far distant world, which itself was the counterpart to M'La's own planet in that same period universe. This princess, naming herself after the Cinderella of legend, enlisted the aid of Wonder Woman in 1952 to help save her husband.
** The female energy entity speaking to Alan Scott from within his power ring was likely M'La herself, after she merged with the Starheart. As she was transformed into such a being following her revitalization by Zalaz, she had the abilities of the Starheart, which included time travel (Green Lantern himself used this power more than once). Now a new life form, she journeyed back in time, to make sure she guided Alan Scott throughout his heroic career.
