Immigration
Immigration is the movement of people into a destination country to which they are not native or do not possess its citizenship in order to settle or reside there, especially as permanent residents or naturalized citizens
Multiculturalism
The decision to migrate can also have its origin in familiar, personal, religious, cultural, and even mere demographic aspects (Villareal, 2008, p. 94).
"In the Anglo-Saxon world, the concept of multiculturalism is associated with the reception of migrants. It is defined by parallel cohabitation and coexistence of plural socio-cultures groups within a society." Rose-Marie Chaves, Lionel Favier et Soizic Pélissier (2012)
