Chain Migration

Chain migration refers to the process by which immigrants bring family members or close relatives to a new country. Once an individual establishes themselves in a new place—often gaining legal residency or citizenship—they can sponsor family members to join them. This creates a "chain" effect, as one person's successful migration facilitates the migration of others in their family or community. This process can lead to tight-knit immigrant communities and has significant social and economic implications, shaping demographics and cultural landscapes in the host country.
