How can I immigrate to France?

According to the Law on the Entry and Residence of Foreigners promulgated by France, foreigners who are allowed to enter France enjoy three residence qualifications during their stay in France. The first is the temporary population, mainly including tourists, international students, businessmen and seasonal workers. For example, temporary workers in Italy and Spain are generally allowed to stay for 3 months, 6 months or 1 year; The second type is short-term residents, mainly labor immigrants who sign contracts, and the residence period is 3 years; The third type is long-term residents, including family members of French citizens, refugees and applicants in the second type mentioned above. After approval, the first two kinds of people can change their residence status and become long-term residents, that is, they have obtained the qualification of permanent residence in France.
