Is the green card the same as immigration?

Green cards are different from immigrants.

Immigration refers to a person moving from the original country, region or place to another country, region or place and settling down there. Green card is an identity document issued by the government to non-citizens, also known as legal permanent resident (LPR). Green card holders can work and live freely abroad, but this is not the same as becoming citizens of that country. Therefore, immigration is a broader concept, and the green card is only an identity authentication among immigrants.

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. After a foreign country has the right of permanent residence, usually this country will issue an identity certificate, similar to the domestic identity card, to prove this person's right of permanent residence. This kind of certificate is commonly known as "green card".

Economic impact of migration:

Immigration has a wide influence on the economy of this country. First of all, in the era of globalization, immigration can promote the development of national economy. Because immigrants have certain skills and qualities, they bring new knowledge and human resources to the scientific and technological innovation and production of the target country and promote economic development. Secondly, immigrants can fill the gaps in the labor market.

With the decline of fertility rate and the aggravation of aging problem, many countries are facing the problems of population aging and labor shortage. Immigration can help the country to alleviate the labor shortage, increase employment opportunities and stimulate economic activities. At the same time, the consumption of products and services by immigrant groups in the target country has promoted the expansion of the consumer market and promoted the country's overall economy.
