Immigration Policy Background Information

With increase in the consciousness about political identity each country formulated a set of conditions, to regulate migration. Additionally, population control and migration pattern control was something that many countries wanted to exert control over.

The policy also determines the rights and abilities of the immigrant in the country. The policy provides a comprehensive outlook to handle the economic and social life of the immigrant.
