I've heard a lot that making Aliyah to Israel is really good, that it's a mitzvah and even that it's an obligation if you can. But how important it is to make Aliyah? Could you give me references/quotes?

1WHile I'm not voting to close, yet. I think you can clarify which aspects you seek in the aswers. The term "important" makes your question vague. Do you mean strictly from halachic viewpoint, political view, demographic / population view, or say, in light of the current "matzav" to support and unify with Israelis who are in danger? – DanF Oct 26 '15 at 15:35

Rabbi Moshe Feinstein ruled that there is no obligation to move to Israel nowadays, but if one does they fulfill a positive mitzvah of the Torah. See Igros Moshe, Even Ha'ezer (a), page 253, last paragraph of responsa 102.

1Could you please [edit] in your source from Rav Moshe (where he said this)? – Scimonster Oct 26 '15 at 15:09

I put the source in at the end of the answer. I hope it is clear. If not, tell me and I will try to be more clear. Sorry for the delay in editing it in. – user11308 Oct 28 '15 at 07:14
