Hi,
I am a bit confused about your situation. Are you living with your boyfriend outside of Canada? If so, is he Canadian? The financial requirement is different depending on which class of application you are applying. However, please note that the financial requirement for immigration is usually lower than what you really need for a living in Canada.
