im a purchasing agent and current wage is 26 and ontario median wage is 33.
That is a significant difference. Saying you will increase wage to meet median income is very risky. If you want the best chance at securing PR your employer should be paying you the median wage or at least be very close to it to have a chance. It would be believable if for example you were close to 2-5% difference in wage to meet the $33/hr median hourly rate and that your employer would be raising your hourly rate after approval because there would typically be a yearly pay rate to match inflation (although inflation is higher than that at the moment). Imaging a raise from 26-33 after approval, which is not enforceable by IRCC, would raise concerns that the change of hourly rate would not happen.
