I am a U.S. citizen coming up on my 5 year anniversary of living in Canada and I have decided to just apply for PR instead of renewing my work permit every 2 years. I have heard that when applying for PR, proof of funds are needed. I read that a single individual needs around $12-13 K. I don't have that much saved however my job which I have worked for in Canada for the past 5 years has a $90,000 a year salary (most of it is spent on repaying student loans, so saving takes a while). Is that an acceptable alternative. If I have a corporate sponsor and my company keeps taking care of me would that work?
