Immigration Application

In today's world, migration mobility has increased significantly with the effect of globalization. For this reason, significant increases are seen in the number of immigration applications. Migration movements on a global scale have brought security problems for the receiving and sending countries. As a result of the meeting held by the member states of the United Nations in 2016, the thesis that migration is now a global problem was accepted.

Until recently, Turkey was a sending country. Due to its geopolitical position, Turkey was seen as a transit country to Europe. With the problems experienced in neighboring countries in recent years and the social and economic development in Turkey, Turkey has now become a target country for migrants.

What is Immigration?

Migration is when individuals or communities move from where they live to another place for political, economic or social reasons. A person who migrates from one country to settle in another country is called an immigrant. It is the person who performs the immigration work. People who have to leave their country with the concern that they will be harmed and who cannot return, who do not want to return, and whose concerns are justified by the country they have taken refuge in are called refugees. People whose asylum applications have not yet been accepted are called asylum seekers.

Immigration Application

Countries may specify different methods for applying for immigration. Some countries require additional procedures such as foreign language knowledge in addition to documents such as visas, residence permits, work permits.

If we give Canada as an example; you must first apply through the system they have determined. The system requires information such as skills and work experience, level of education, knowledge of English and/or French, language ability and training of the applicant's spouse, job offer or invitation, availability of a state program for permanent residence, applicant's personal abilities/contribution to business life. Foreigners coming to Turkey must apply to the migration administration and obtain a residence permit.

Residence and work permit legislation and regulations are constantly being renewed. For this reason, it is important to get support from foreigners law lawyers in the application process in order to complete the procedures to be completed in a timely, complete and correct manner.

Problems Experienced by Immigrants

The main problems experienced by people whose immigration applications are accepted are:

• The psychological pressure of being separated from one's own traditions, customs, and social environment.
• Encountering a culture that they do not know and adapting to it.
• Psychological disorders such as anxiety disorder, stress and depression.
• Poverty.
• Educational problems.
• Not having enough information about the health system.

Integration of Immigrants

The integration of migrants is one of the most discussed issues. It is very important to overcome the adaptation process as soon as possible for both the migrants and the country of migration. For this reason, countries carry out policies and practices through social workers. This process starts as soon as the immigration application is made and continues afterwards..

As a result, in the current period of time, the migration movement has increased on a global scale due to sociological, economic and especially wars. The sociologies and demographic structures of the countries are negatively affected by this situation. In such an environment, what countries need to do is to identify the problems at the source and produce solutions by intervening in place and wisely to the problems experienced. Equal distribution of resources, respect for national and international rights and freedoms, and choosing diplomacy for the solution of possible problems will cause the phenomenon of migration to weaken.
