If you are interested in pursuing a career in hardcore civil engineering, then you should consider doing a Master's degree in Civil engineering from any of the good Canadian public universities.
Most Canadian universities need B grade or minimum 60% in final 2 years of B.tech degree (or 2nd Class Upper Division) for students from Nigeria and an IELTS score of 6.5 overall (with no bands less than 6)(some may require IELTS score of overall 7) for applying to engineering Master degrees.
Example: (Univ. of Manitoba international equivalency chart)- http://umanitoba.ca/faculties/graduate_studies/facultyinfo/assess/view.php?cid=35
You can pursue a course based 1-1.5 years length M. Eng master degree OR research oriented, thesis based 2 years long MaSc./Msc. degree. The research based degrees are usually more competitive, where one generally needs to show some knack for research (like published papers) and selected students usually get partial or full funding.
Here's the list of ALL recognized Canadian educational institutes eligible for OCWP+PGWP, listed according to province:

You can see general rankings of Canadian universities to get an overall idea.. as to which universities are reputed.
For example: http://www.university-list.net/canada/rank/univ-7007.htm

You need to go through the university department websites to know more such as course content, graduate degree options, deadlines, tuition fees, admission procedure etc.
The application submission date for Fall 2013 (Sept) start in most universities is already long over, and you should consider applying for 2014 Fall intake.
Project management is suitable for those with atleast few years of real life experience in civil engineering/ construction.
Best of Luck.

i ve considered that but i finished with a second class(lower div). hence my desire to attend a college. and i do have 2yrs experience in civil construction and i intend to use internship when i get to canada to beef that up as well.
