If your sponsor is a private individual and not an organisation, it is difficult to prove that the sponsor is genuine and that the funds will be available to you during your stay in Canada. If this is the case, may be for your second application try to make sure you have funds in your name that are enough for 1 year (around $10000). Others get a GIC thats for 1 year of your studies ($10000) apart for the amount paid for tuition

A GIC (Guaranteed Investment Certificate) is an investment that has a guaranteed rate of return for a fixed period of time.

You need to show at least $10000 for 1 year (for your use) . With the GIC, it proves that the money you have is for your stay as a student in Canada and not just money deposited for visa purposes. When you buy a GIC, it’s like putting money into your savings account, however, unlike normal savings account you may not be able to withdraw your funds for a period of time.
