Hi Elham,
1> If people migrate, they travel in large numbers to a new place to live
temporarily:
"Mexican farm workers migrate *into* the US each year to find work at
harvest time."
2> IMMIGRATE is to come to a country to which you are not native in order to
live there permanently:
"He immigrated with his parents in 1895, and grew up in Long Island."
3> Emigrate : To leave a country permanently and go to live in another one:
"Millions of Germans emigrated *from* Europe *to* America in the nineteenth
century."
"How long ago did your parents emigrate?"
regards
anu
