As defined in Wikipedia, immigration is the movement of people from their native country into a country of destination for the purpose of settling there and becoming a permanent or naturalized resident. There are two types of reasons a person may prefer immigration to stay in his/her home country. One is the dominant disastrous situations of one’s country of origin such as epidemic disease, poverty, food shortage, war, unemployment, and insecurity. The other category includes the favorable and attractive situation of the destination country such as quality health facilities, better education, higher income, better housing.
In Iran, however, the main motivation for a vast majority of Iranian immigrants is the second type of reasons. The rate of immigration from the country has especially increased during the course of the last two years. Iranian immigrants come from different classes of the community such as investors and entrepreneurs who seek better business opportunities abroad or students who look for higher quality education.
Among the major destinations for Iranian immigrants, the USA wins the first place. Cities of California, Los Angeles, New York, Texas, and Virginia are the ones with most Iranian populations. The other host countries that annually receive a significant portion of Iranian immigrants are Canada, Germany, UK, Greece, Sweden, Hungary, Turkey, and Emirates.
Overall, based on the statistics, over five million Iranians live abroad and this creates a huge potential for translation of their documents/files from or into Farsi. Farsi Language Solutions is ready to cooperate with translation and state agencies which deal with Iranian immigrants in Farsi<>English translation of documents/files.
