    These words are not similar but opposite. Immigration is entering and emigration is exiting a country. Entry and exit are opposite.

    There are two posts above that convey nothing but thanks for clearing doubts. I request that such posts be avoided. The best way to appreciate some body is to click the thank you button or increase Karma.

    Rajani, Kalyani's link is useful and it clearly states the meaning of the two words and in which context it should be used. I have one more link which you may find useful, it covers the etymology of the word too. Also, you may want to book the site as it covers all the differences between similar sounding words.

    here is the link:

    Thanks for explaining the difference clearly with resources, Now if i am right can anyone tell me whether i am correct or not with this explanation.
    If an person leaves India it is said as
    immigration to another country, and
    emigration from India :unsure: :)
