Debt free?

[lovingit]

Hi, can someone tell me if you have to be debt free before you can become a PR of Canada. I'm getting married and of course I have debt where I live in the US. Obviously I can still pay my bills in the US while I live in Canada. But, somewhere I read a post and now I can't find it. So, anyone that has already made it to the PR status, can you please inform me on how this Debt part works?

Thanks,
Lovingit

Thanks Raven, he can afford to sponsor us no problem at all. But it's my debt in the US I'm talking about. Do i need to show how much debt i have here?

I would imagine if your sponsor can prove that you will not become a burden to Canada you would be okay. Just an opinion.
