State
Immigration is movement into an area for permanent residence; emigration is movement out to residence elsewhere; both describe the same move from opposite ends.
Show
A family relocating permanently counts as emigration from the place left and immigration to the place arrived.
Watch for
Migration can be voluntary, involuntary, or forced; immigration and emigration describe direction only, not the reason.
