Germany is not for everybody( no need to explain why, if you know you know ) and i am looking discuss options and relocate.
every option is open for discussion.
Canada and USA are on top of my list for relocation but Ireland, UK, new Zeeland, Australia are other options.

methods of relocation
1. visitor visa /conference visa
2. study route
3. work permit route
4. skilled immigration

I hope some of you who are silently planning and scheming come here so we can discuss and share information.

If you are a legal resident, why relocate to your listed countries with a Visiting visa to become an illegal alien.
Moreover Germany is in many respects better than your Liste countries. Learn Deutsch and integrate yourself into the System .

enlighten me how Germany is better than listed countries sir.
and Canadian visit visa can be converted into work visa. this is just an example and i am sure other have used visit visa to get into a country and settle there.

Definity but could be other things as well. it doesnt matter though. its all about choice. regardless of the issues you can choose to stay here or leave. i choose to leave whenever its convenient.

Good day peeps..I currently have a schengen polish visitor/tourist visa and I'm currently in Germany. I wish to settle down here. Does anyone know/have an idea of how to convert this visa to a resident permit or temporary resident permit pls.

A very reasonable answer would be appreciated.

Learning a new language is never easy but it is also not impossible.
I have met many Foreigners including Nigerians who arrived not knowing anything in German but were able to learn the language with many having B1 in Deutschkurs. They also speak so well.

So Learning Deutsch is very possible.

You are right!

My emphasis however was on the difficulty of German based on my experience.

I am proficient in 4 languages asides English, and picking them up was literally fun. However when it came to German, the learning process was no longer fun.

My first difficulty was the "das, die, der" wahala, so unlike most languages which mainly use masculine and feminine definite articles, German uses 3 (masculine, feminine & neuter). Ol boy! as a Nederlands speaker (which uses only het and de), German was a nightmare for me.

Secondly the formal and informal referencing in German, for example Sie and Du. Was a headache.

Lastly the rather interesting word combinations for German such as "Schadenfreude"(which literally means damage delight if translated by the words, but meanssomething else) or "Scheinwerfer"(which literally means shine thrower if you translate the word, but means something else)... the logic behind certain words are just errrrm... interestingly cumbersome.

At the end of the day, anyone can learn any language, however I am just putting it out there that German is a difficult language & I have mad respect for people who speak German as a secondary language, because it showed me pepper.

You mean relocating to Nigeria or Ghana
Those are nice places.

GOOGLE is free.

Deutsch is quite an interresting Language to learn, i don`t think it`s all that complicated. I started learning Deutsch at Goethe Institut Lagos over 3 decades ago. What motivated me and most of my coursemates that time was the opportunity to study in Germany and Austria free of charge.
Though the grammatical aspect seem quite challenging especially because of the existence three articles Der, Die, Das which does`nt really follow a particular order but seems more randomly being allocated to different objects, like Der Tisch, Das Brot, Die Butter. Notable exception to these randomly allocated articles are words that end with schaft or heit like die Mannschaft, die Gesselschaft, die Schönheit, die Gesundheit.
Substantives(Nouns) that are derived from verbs like das Fahren, das Gehen, das Schwimmen mostly have the article Das.

Better Health Care system (faster acccesibility), better Housing system (availability and affordability), lower crime rates, free education at all levels, efficient public administration system, lower social problems, lower anti immigrant sentiments

the fact that you mentioned better health care system makes me doubt you are in Germany .i have never in my stay here heard or read any immigrant say the health care is accessible. . which Germany you living in?
anyway there is always some outliers in this type of subjective matters, but Germany is not better in all of them. maybe be crime but definitely not the others.
Now i could go on and write my opinion on why i believe thats not true but like i said to a friend here , its not important. at the end people always have their reason (wheather valid or not) and choose to migrate to whichever country based on that.
i am sure there are people in said countries trying to move to Germany and vice versa.
hell people leave USA for uk , those in uk trying to get into canada and those in canada are trying to leave. and some of us here in germany are trying to leave. such be life !
these topic is mainly for discussing ways to relocate so if you know anyone who did , you can share

i doubt it

Those are nice places.

depends on your situation.
you got money? are you educated?
technically if you can get admission to German unis , you can convert it to study residence permit.
or you can try and get a skilled job and get a work permit.
you can also jsut enroll for a Duetsch course. you can get a visa for that as well(expensive )

If i can make anything of your post, it is that its totally off-point of what this thread/discussion is about.

The thread author pointed out that learning German is a major difficulty for him and we all agree it is difficult to integrate without learning the language.
Then i made the point that i have seen foreigners including Nigerians who arrived in Germany/Austria and started learning the language and right now they are well-spoken and have high language certification such as B1.
Hence, he can learn the language if he is determined to do so.

I am the OP and the point of these thread/discussion is to find and share of ways to relocate ( cause I have heard a lot ofbpeoppe did ) 🙂
A user thinks it’s the language , you think it’s possible to learn the language and I say it’s not only the language but it doesn’t matter . This thread is for those who want to relocate regardless of the reason.
You are welcome to discuss on the main topic

Oh! I see.

Ofcourse there are lots of hills and mountains to climb especially for an adult to integrate into a new society but the chief amongst them is language and no matter your qualifications and skills if you cannot communicate with the locals, then you cannot integrate and prosper there.
Hence one has to take language seriously before any other problem.
Secondary issues that one encounter includes upgrade of skills and certifications, adapting to new weather and culture, food and new ways of doing things including local laws.
