Citizenship and Immigration

Citizenship refers to the legal status of belonging to a particular country, granting individuals rights and responsibilities, such as the right to vote and access public services. Immigration involves the movement of people to a different country, either temporarily or permanently, often to seek better opportunities or safety. Immigrants may apply for citizenship, usually through processes that include residency requirements, language proficiency, and knowledge of the country's history and laws. Understanding both concepts is essential, as they affect social dynamics, national policies, and individual experiences within a country.
