Nigeria. I swore an oath that I would never return.I don’t often use the tired old Quora “I can’t believe nobody mentioned” trope (typically followed by some factoids about a Christopher Nolan movie), but this might be the appropriate occasion to do so. Here goes:I can’t believe that out of 295 answers (including the 115 collapsed ones), and only 206 sovereign states in the world,[1] nobody mentioned Nigeria.It’s not a country you would overlook, either. Out of 1.186 billion people (2015 estimate)[2] living in Africa, between 182 million (2015 estimate) and 187 million (2016 estimate)[3] live in Nigeria. That’s about 1 out of 6.Among the ten largest* countries in the world, one is in Africa (Nigeria), five are in Asia (Bangladesh, China, India, Indonesia, and Pakistan), two are in Latin America (Brazil and Mexico), one is in Northern America (United States of America), and one is in Europe (Russian Federation). Amongst these, Nigeria’s population, currently the seventh largest in the world, is growing the most rapidly. Consequently, the population of Nigeria is projected to surpass that of the United States by about 2050, at which point it would become the third largest country in the world.[4]* Note that the quoted study uses “largest” in the sense of the population size, not the country’s area.World population cartogram[5]And did I mention Nigeria is dangerous? You might have heard of Boko Haram, the “world’s deadliest terror group” that relegates ISIS to the #2 spot. With the crucial difference that while ISIS targets “Western civilization”, Boko Haram terrorizes Western Africa in general, and Nigeria in particular.A Nigerian policeman inspects the site of a suicide attack by Boko Haram at a busy cattle market in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri in June, 2015. Boko Haram overtook ISIS as the world's deadliest terror group last year, according to the Global Terrorism Index, while Nigeria had the biggest year-on-year increase in terrorism, with deaths up more than 300%.[6]Granted, my first and only visit to Nigeria was in June 1999, when Clinton (the husband) was President, and the world was a much more peaceful place. Nigeria was smaller back then, too. I remember population figures of 660 million for Africa and 110 million for Nigeria according to the then-current CIA World Factbook.[7]At the time, I was working within the EMEA division of a global software company, with a stress on A for Africa, specifically Sub-Saharan Africa. Our projects typically included customizing at the client’s premises. Thus, I visited Kenya, Zambia, South Africa, Tanzania — that last one being my favorite. If you have GSM reception in those countries, it’s due to me (well, partially).And, yes, I also stayed 10 days in Nigeria to get a new billing system up and running. Nobody else from the German office wanted to go there, so we relied on contractors from Serbia and Indonesia. Brave and brilliant people.Our client was based in Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city [EDIT: not its capital, though, thanks to User-12969322025222788975 for pointing this out], with an estimated population of 21 million people within its metropolitan area and supposedly growing by several hundred thousand people per year. The trip from the airport into town — escorted by armed police guards! — took forever.Anyway, to give you an idea, the current Global Liveability Ranking 2016 by The Economist’s Intelligence Unit puts Lagos at number 138 out of 140 major cities. Only Tripoli (Lybia) and Damascus (Syria) are ranked worse than that.[8]To report about the actual trip, I now hand over the keyboard to my younger self. I retrieved three essential reports for you from my 1999 Outlook .pst file.(1.) Report before the tripOnce more I am about to fly to lands unknown to spread terror like only a project manager can. You see, this week, we finally got the contract for Nigeria, so on Wednesday, my boss kindly asked me to fly there — today.“Yeah, well ...”, I replied. “It's only for 10 days”, he said. “Oh, OK, that's no problem then, why didn't you say so before?” So I am indeed leaving today, since I managed to get a visa yesterday. I had to fly all the way to Brussels to get it, but it was worth the extra mile.You see, normal visa applications take about a month and lots of paperwork. Express visa applications take about a day and some patronage. In this case, a high-ranking staff member of the Nigerian embassy in Brussels happens to be chums with a high-ranking board member of the client in Lagos. So that's how it goes! The only condition is that you have to go to Brussels in person, which I did not mind at all.Then again, I spent all day yesterday chasing different people around the embassy. Really, all I wanted was a stamp in my passport, no more, no less. But no, it actually took a phone call between the two chums mentioned above to get things going. Though I arrived at the embassy at 9 a.m., I only got the visa at 4 p.m.14 days, single entry: 5000 francs, please. What? That's 125 euros! (And alas, about the same figure in dollars.) For that price, I can have two years of Zambia! Then again, I'd rather take the two weeks of Nigeria, thank you very much. At least, with a two-week visa, I know I'll have to be back after that time. Very reassuring.Though I doesn't actually mean that I will be back by that time. One hears lots of scary stuff about Nigeria these days. On the other hand, as one of my colleagues from South Africa used to say, one hears a lot of scary stuff about Frankfurt in Johannesburg. Right.(2.) Report during the tripHow can I describe Lagos? The best I can think of is to compare it to other African cities: Lagos is worse. There. I've said it all — and feel so much better. Lagos might be a thriving “centre of excellence” with over 15 million inhabitants, but it's just not safe. The client treats us like guests, giving us furnished apartments, free (Lebanese!) food and a driver, but you cannot set a foot outside of the mansion gates — or so the client says, at least, and I have not been tempted to prove him wrong.So we are trapped in a golden cage. I can live with it for a week, but I'll be happy when I get back home. The getting back point has still one question mark to it, however, for I have lost my passport. Or, more likely, it was taken from me without my consent.When I arrived at the airport last Saturday, I had it with me; when I checked Monday morning, it was nowhere to be found. So I've paid a couple of extended visits to the embassy (seems like I spend most of my time waiting around in embassies nowadays) and I expect to get a new one next Monday — though no new visa or entry stamp, which will cause some problems at the airport. But that's nothing money can't solve.(3.) Report after the tripI'm back. With my brand new passport, a recommendation letter from the client (who seemingly owns half of Nigeria) and, I'm sure, a little money here and there, I got though the immigration office at Lagos airport. Whew, that was close.I actually expected having to bribe people myself, but that was not necessary. So once past immigration and in the waiting lounge, I still had lots of local currency left: more or less 300 bank notes (about 1 kg) which are of no value outside Nigeria — and of very little value inside. What to do? Luckily, Lagos international airport is civilized enough to have a couple of duty free shops (unlike Schengen airports nowadays). So I bought a bottle of the oldest whiskey I could find.One more thing about passports. When I packed my luggage on Monday night, what did I find sitting in a side pocket of my beauty case? My old passport, of course. Not sure whether to trust our maid, I had hidden it so well that even I could not find it. Of course, I did not dare tell anybody that I found it, not wanting to cause even more confusion.Lessons Learned (for me)Never mistake your own stupidity for cleverness.Never go back to Nigeria. My colleagues and I swore oaths on this.Never stop listening to Fela Kuti’s music. Timeless and moving.EDIT: Frequently Added CommentsTwo months, hundreds of upvotes and dozens of comments later, allow me to add an FAQ section, or rather FAC — frequently added comments. In view of the subject matter, I originally wanted to do this Sierra Leone-style, but considering that “Movies” is the Quora topic I’m most active in, I’d rather do this Sergio Leone-style: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly.The Good (lots of it)Let’s start with the easy part. There is no doubt at all that Fela Kuti was brilliant. He was no gentleman, but no zombie either. His music is something about Nigeria that I shall always treasure.Many people understood that I am telling a story here, one about my experience (or lack of it, but more about that in a minute). Your experience with Nigeria will be totally different. I especially like the imagery that it is but “one country in the mosaic that is Africa” and that “every experience in Africa is of Africa.”Several people calmly stated that my “reasoning unfairly paints the country in a bad light” and that I should “give Nigeria another chance”. Apparently, Nigeria has much improved since the nineties, it is “actually a beautiful country with lots to offer” — though not perfect, like any other place one might visit — it “might just pleasantly surprise” me. And even if it didn’t, I would have another story to tell.Lagos, too, seems improved — “like, really”, as one commenter stressed. Even if “traffic is crazy, bribery is rampant, corruption has no limits”, it is nevertheless “a bustling city with a thriving nightlife”, and in a nutshell, “actually a fine place”.On the other hand, a few people backed me up, stating with “apologies to all Nigerians” that they “have to agree with nearly everything in this post”, because “Nigeria can frustrate even the most excited and open-minded of visitors.” Nonetheless, one person wrote, “it’s still my country, and I love it”. Can’t argue with that.The Bad (less than the Good, I admit)Many people have questioned whether my little tale counts as an experience at all, calling it a “non-experience” which is kind of a non-word, but I get the point. All I can say is: reality is subjective. They weren’t there; I was. And without a passport — or so I thought. While “you can misplace your passport in just about any country”, being in an unpredictable, enormous city without any means of getting out again scared my twenty-something self shitless. I have been to many large cities in Africa during those years, but I never felt as afraid as in Lagos.One person wanted to reassure me by pointing out: “Your answer and your views about Nigeria is outdated.” — but actually achieved the opposite effect, since several commenters with more Nigerian experience confirmed that “there are MANY reasons one would never want to step foot in this country” and that “if you want to survive in my country, you have to be very tough, watchful and very observant.” Thanks, I’ll try to keep that in mind.Several comments blamed my client. They think, “It might be your client’s fault that you hated the place so much. I mean, he mad you feel unsafe.” And also that “your client didn't want any liabilities so covered himself by advising you not to go anywhere.” That may well be, but what really resonated with me was that “your host probably locked you up so you could focus on the task at hand and not get distracted by the lovely culture and beautiful women.” Very true, I actually had that issue, though it was in Zambia — but that’s another story which shall be told on another day.And one person wanted to pick a fight with me on whether the world was safer in 1999. I think so. Where was Boko Haram in 1999? Where was widespread jihadist terrorism? Then again, if that's the only thing that this person has an issue with, I don’t mind.Finally, if you don’t go to the country, the country will come to you: “i'm sure the oil in nigeria can buy your country and the people in it ;)” Thanks, but I don't think my country is for sale. But that’s a scary thought nonetheless. Not helping me feel safer about Nigeria.The Ugly (very little, because I ditched most of it)I’ve deleted most comments containing personal insults, but not before copying some of them to my notebook for later use. Allegedly, I am “trapped in a mental wall erected by [my] small mindedness”. Two commenters also pointed out my “typical Americal nonsensical behavior”. I, an American? Check again, please. At least I got the continent right.I’ve also been told, “on behalf of Nigerians please stay away and don’t look back we don’t need the likes of you visiting.” Other group generalizations were even more explicit: “all u guys are all corrupt And u need too go take a hike.” In case it wasn’t clear who “u” is, another commenter clarified that it is “’white’ people like you (bleak, blind and corrupt) — We do not want you in Nigeria. Don’t ever comeback. Don’t deface my country, you white piece of S@!#.”If any comment you might have is along those lines, consider upvoting someone else’s contribution instead of adding your own. OTOH, constructive criticism will always be appreciated. You might change my mind about Nigeria after all.Footnotes[1] List of sovereign states[2] World Population Prospects - Population Division - United Nations[3] World Population Prospects - Population Division - United Nations[4] https://esa.un.org/unpd/wpp/publications/files/key_findings_wpp_2015.pdf[5] World Population Map 2015 [7088 x 3008] [OC] • /r/MapPorn[6] Boko Haram overtakes ISIS as deadliest terrorists: Study[7] Full text of "The 1998 CIA World Factbook"[8] http://pages.eiu.com/rs/783-XMC-194/images/Liveability_August2016.pdf

Many people seem to be confused about English language proficiency and study permits.English language proficiency is a critical component of applying for PR in Canada and IELTS is the key English test used to prove your language proficiency.For a study permit, the government does not require any language proficiency proof by the applicant.To get a study permit issued by the Canadian government, you have to provide formal documentation:proof of acceptance (from the teaching institution)Proof of identityProof of fundsLetter of explanation (may be required)So Canada Immigration does not require IELTS for the study permit application.Get a Study Permit - Get the right documentsBut, most high level post-secondary Canadian teaching institutions will require you to provide proof of your language proficiency in order for you to be offered admission.IELTS is just one of the accepted exams.However, if you can find a school that does not require English proficiency to be offered admission then you don't need any proof of testing.For instance, here are the English language requirements to apply to the University of Toronto:https://www.future.utoronto.ca/apply/english-language-requirementsEnglish is the language of instruction and examination at U of T, and success in our degree programs requires a high level of English language proficiency.If English is not your first language (i.e. is not the first language you learned at home as a child), you will need to provide evidence of adequate English facility for admission consideration, unless you qualify for an exemption.You may qualify for an exemption from the English facility requirement if one of the following applies to you:You have completed/are completing four or more years of full-time study in a recognized Canadian school (in Canada) that teaches in English:Countries/territories: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Cameroon, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Fiji, Gambia, Ghana, Gibraltar, Grenada, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Kenya, Lesotho, Liberia, Malawi, Malta, Mauritius, Montserrat, Namibia, New Zealand, Nigeria, Papua New Guinea, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Scotland, Seychelles, Sierra Leone, Singapore, Solomon Islands, South Africa, Swaziland, Tanzania, Tonga, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, Uganda, United Kingdom (England, Northern Ireland, Wales), United States of America, Vanuatu, Zambia and Zimbabwe
