Is getting permanent residency an immigration?

Getting a green card only means getting permanent residency in that country, but enjoying permanent residency does not mean that you are a citizen of this country. It just means that you, a foreign citizen, have the right to live permanently in that country, but it doesn't mean to immigrate. Immigrants are citizens of the original country of nationality who give up their nationality and move to another country (some foreign countries support dual nationality, but China does not). Once a China person becomes a foreign nationality, it is deemed that he has automatically renounced China nationality). Green card: having a green card in a certain country means having the right to live permanently in this country. If you work and pay taxes here normally, you will be treated equally with your own people in terms of economic benefits. But because your nationality is still China, you can also vote and stand for election in China. If you are naturalized, you will also have the right to vote and stand for election. Naturalization: Some countries require permanent residence green cards to go through an evaluation stage, that is, permanent residence first, then permanent residence. If you want to become a citizen after obtaining permanent residence, most countries require residence+language test+oath. If you pass successfully and get a passport of a certain country, that is, naturalization, you can enjoy visa-free treatment and landing visa treatment in that country, and travel will be more convenient. However, China does not recognize dual citizenship. Therefore, in theory, if a China person gets a passport from another country, his China passport will be invalid and he has no domestic account, but the social security and commercial insurance he has paid is still valid. At the same time, it should be noted that if you have obtained passports from other countries, you need a visa to return to China, and the single stay time is mostly within half a year, which is not once and for all.

First, the purpose of immigration overseas green card:

1. Live, study and work in the green card issuing country for a long time. It is worth noting that some green cards are not allowed to work in the local area but can be used for business, so be sure to understand them clearly before handling them.

2. Apply for an international school: domestic and international schools generally need a foreign green card or nationality to apply.

3. Enjoy the same welfare treatment as local people, except political rights.

4. Another advantage of the green card for European Schengen countries is that you can enter other Schengen countries without a visa (Schengen countries only).

Second, immigration, permanent residency.

1. First of all, immigrants, people from one country, apply to live and work in another country for a long time, and get approval from that country to go abroad. This process is called immigration. Immigration, or successful immigration, refers to having the legal right to live and work permanently in the country, that is, the so-called permanent residency, rather than having foreign nationality immediately. We usually refer to "overseas Chinese", that is, China people who live abroad but still have China nationality and hold China passports.

2. Is permanent residency a nationality?

No. Or permanent residence is a green card?

Yes, permanent residency means that you can live permanently and legally in a country. This permanent legal residence certificate is a green card.
