    1. Migration : changing location within the same borders (in most cases)

      Emigration: Leaving the country

      Immigration: Getting into a country.

      So you emigrate from one country and immigrate into another.

    2. Dopameme-machine on

      So… we’re confused about prefixes now?

      Migration: the overall pattern of movement from one country to another.

      Emigration: movement out of a country.

      Immigration: movement into a country.

    3. BarristanTheB0ld on

      Just a matter of perspective.

      Emigration – people leaving country you talk about

      Immigration – people arriving/entering country you talk about

      Migration – the process of moving from one country to another

    4. Migrating and immigrating are opposing nouns, they do not have the same meaning

      Eg. I immigrated to Canada ✅
      Eg. I migrated from Spain ✅
      Eg. I migrated to Spain ❌
      Eg. I immigrated from Canada ❌

    5. Migration = Move to a different country

      Emigration = Move out of a given country

      Immigration = Move into a given country

    6. Migration
      Moving from Country to Country
      Imigrant someone who joined
      Emigrant the one who left the country.

      I think its called “perspective”

    7. Emigration = Leaving Country

      Immigration = Entering Country

      Migration = Moving Between Countries

      Emigration and Immigration are the same act of Migration, Emigration from your Country or Origins perspective, Immigration from your Destination Counties perspective

      E.g.

      Born in Mexico, Migrated to the USA

      Emigrated from Mexico, Immigrated to the USA, Migrated From Mexico To the USA
