Hi nairalanders...
My first application was on April 17th and was through an agent in Lagos. After my first application, I joined nairaland and discovered the packaging was poor.
Went through some threads and was enlightened on how to tackle common reasons for refusals.
Decided to re- apply by myself.
Reapplied in June at vfs Abuja, I live in Lagos tho.
Program: PGD
Course : RN- critical care nursing , Niagara college
Was skeptical about reapplying because it's a PGD. After I got my refusal, I didn't bother to order for notes cause I felt I couldn't wait for so long before reapplying.

I used the ideas from this thread and previous ones and
The difference in my second from first application were:
A well detailed, real and sincere SOP, made sure I proved I am taking a step of academic progression, made sure I explained why I want the course, how I will survive with funding, my intentions to return to manage my mother's business.
My personal bank statement showing my savings and a deposit of 10k dollars equivalent transferred to my account.
Pay slips - was payed monthly by a relative.
Letter of introduction - I graduated last year and was working voluntarily as a nurse for 6 months.
Sponsorship letter explaining how the funds have been allocated for my education and survival. Also explains how my sponsor will survive while I am away.
Letter or clarification
Reference letter from bank

DeuxMille,

Yes you can use a Sponspor who isn't a blood relation to you. This sponsor of yours must convince the visa officer beyond reasonable doubt that he/she is financially capable of sponsoring you throughout your stay in Canada. A convincing reason to why he/she is spending so much on you to further your studies abroad while there are available programs offered here in Nigeria, must suffice in your sponsor letter of support. Strong financial commitment towards sponsoring you by paying part or full tuition fees and transferring funds into your personal/dorm account, is very crucial when it comes to third party sponsorship. Sponsor must certify the visa officer that while financing your studies in Canada, that all financial obligations must be meet i.e his/her immediate family members, business, and personal welfare must be taken care of. Evidence of history or ongoing financial support from your sponsor goes a long way to show strong proof of relationship. Furthermore, you can show proof of relationship with cousin by including your father's birth certificates and your sponsor (cousin) father's birth certificates too.. And also your birth certificate and that of your cousin as well. That's if this were to be a paternal cousin...

All the best!
