Immigration refers to the process by which individuals move from one country to another with the intention of living there permanently or for an extended period. People may immigrate for various reasons, including seeking better economic opportunities, escaping conflict, or reuniting with family members. Each country has its own laws and regulations governing who can enter and reside within its borders. Naturalization is the legal process through which a foreign national becomes a citizen of a new country. This process often involves meeting specific requirements, such as residing in the country for a certain number of years, demonstrating language proficiency, and passing a citizenship test. Successful naturalization grants individuals the rights and responsibilities of citizenship, including the right to vote.
