To be honest, based on your qualifications (education, work experience, family situation, etc), your applying for a diploma/masters/PGD seems to be indicative of wanting to 'jump the immigration queue'; i.e., get into Canada on a student visa and then immigrate, in order to shorten the time it would otherwise take to become a permanent resident using the designated route for qualified professionals. That would be grounds for refusal, since that would be abusing the purpose of a student visa. I hope this makes sense. This is not to say that you will be absolutely unable to get a student visa in your circumstances. However, if you were going for a PhD, for instance, your student visa application would make more sense. We all know that a lot of people who come in as students do eventually immigrate, but there's a different 'look and feel' for someone coming in to do a bachelor's or their first masters, compared to someone in your shoes. Those other applicants 'look and feel' more like a genuine student application, as opposed to someone trying to get an immigration short cut via a student visa.
All of that to say- if you haven't already done so, why not consider immigrating as a professionally skilled person? There are a number of options -federal/provincial applicant, etc. There's a thread on nairaland devoted to this:
https://www.nairaland.com/1279130/canadian-federal-skilled-worker-program-timelines


Ultimately, however, it's your choice, your decision. If you want to pursue the student route, nothing stops you. Just thought I'd point out an observation that might not have been immediately obvious. Cheers and all the best.

Please guys I need your advise; this is the first time am commenting on this thread, but honestly I must say, you guys are doing a great job here. Comments from the likes of Siga, Fhemmy, Gboyega D et al are quite commendable, you can hardly see Nigerians abroad offering these kind of service for free, even family members. More grease to your elbow guys!

A bit about my background so you can advise asap ; I ‘ve got Bsc (Estate Mgt, 2.1), MBA (B+), PMP cert. , Professional Marketing Cert with over 10 years working experience + visits to UK/US(never over stay), in my mid 30s and married with kids.
My request:

I wanted a Masters/PG program in REAL ESTATE field in Canada, I have searched all the schools in Canada but never found one ( you can help if you know of any) save Diploma Program in BCIT & Seneca College, others are some real estate specializations in MBA( Ryerson, York, VIU) programs(already got MBA) and don’t think I need this. I like the Diploma program though as they lead to some real estate certifications in Canada but HOW DO YOU THINK THE VO WILL SEE ME APPLYING FOR DIPLOMA PROGRAM (same is applicable to my 2nd choice of profession- Project Mgt), kindly advice on the best way out.

GURUS IN HOUSE ...................... shocked
