Dear , colleaques
Is there any difference in meaning between �immigration� and �emigration�? Are they synonyms?
Thanks in advance

Hello Hussam, emigration is leaving your home country to move to another. --> After the fall of the Berlin Wall, East Germany suffered "brain drain" due to mass emigration. immigration is arriving in a new country, having left your home country. --> Many right-wing politicians are opposed to excessive immigration.

Simplified a bit, you immigrate to a country, and emigrate from a country. Bruce |
