Immigration is the process by which people move to a country other than their native one with the intention of living there, either temporarily or permanently.
Key Aspects of Immigration:
Types of Immigration:
Permanent Immigration: For those who want to live in another country indefinitely (e.g., getting a Green Card in the U.S. or Permanent Residency in Canada).
Temporary Immigration: For students, workers, or visitors who plan to stay for a limited time.
Common Reasons for Immigration:
Better job opportunities
Education
Family reunification
Safety from conflict or persecution (asylum or refugee status)
Improved quality of life
How It Works:
Individuals usually apply for a visa or permit depending on the purpose (study, work, visit, etc.).
Countries have specific immigration laws and criteria that must be met.
Legal status is often granted after approval from an immigration authority or agency.
