Immigration

Immigration is the process through which individuals move from one country to another with the intention of residing there permanently or temporarily. It involves the legal and administrative procedures that govern the entry, stay, and rights of foreigners in a host country. Immigration can occur for various reasons, including economic opportunities, family reunification, education, refugee status, or escape from conflict and persecution. The implications of immigration are significant, influencing the demographics, economy, and culture of the host country. Policies surrounding immigration can vary widely, including restrictions, quotas, and pathways to citizenship.
