Immigration is entering a country. If you go to live in, say, America, from somewhere else, you would immigrate to America. You would emigrate from the country you left. A refugee is a person who leaves, or emigrates, a place because of war, famine, or other cause. A refugee is looking to start a better life elsewhere.
