Difference between "emigrate" and "immigrate"
I checked my dictionary for this two verbs as below:
"emigrate"- If you emigrate, you leave your own country to live in another country.
"immigrate"-If someone immigrates to a particular country, they come to live or work in that country, after leaving the country where they were born.
that means: "emigrate" is to move abroad saying from the stand of your own country, and "immigrate" is to come into a new country and change residency saying from the stand of that new country to live.
Is my understanding right? Thanks a lot!

Yes, your understanding is right.
"emigrate" = to leave one's country to live in another
"immigrate" = to come to a country to live there.
For example, if you moved to Canada you could say:
I emigrated from China.
I immigrated to Canada.

Yes, that's right. You "emigrate from" and "immigrate to".
A very simple way of remembering it is to chop up the words and find the prefixes.
emigrate = ex-migrate
immigrate = in-migrate
