Emigrate vs Immigrate Definition/Usage
 
Just for my own sake I googled this:

Emigrate vs. immigrate

To immigrate is to settle in a new country or region. To emigrate is to leave a native country or region to settle elsewhere. Obviously the words are closely related and similar enough to elicit confusion, but they’re easy to remember if you think of immigrating as arriving and emigrating as leaving. For example, someone who grew up in France and now lives in Spain emigrated from France and immigrated to Spain. Immigrate is usually followed by to, and emigrate is usually followed by from.
