Overview

Popularly, it is understood that an immigrant is a person who migrates from their country of origin to settle in another country. This movement is motivated by several factors, such as the search for better economic opportunities, escaping conflicts or persecution, environmental disasters, family reunion, or simply the search for a different social and cultural environment. Immigrants can be classified as those seeking permanent or temporary residence, and their integration process into the host society involves adapting to new cultural and social norms and, often, learning a new language. The immigrant experience is multifaceted, reflecting a variety of individual stories and contributing to the diversity and social dynamics in receiving countries.
