Does student loan debt affect immigration to Canada?

Hallie E asked:


My older brother is looking to immigrate to Canada, but has few grand in student loans- nothing serious, he makes small monthly payments, he’s not having to eat ramen or anything. However, I know that Canada requires a person to have a chunk of savings (apparently, enough to live off of for a year, I think they want you to have roughly $10,000) but I heard that if you have debt, you have to have enough savings to completely cover paying it off. Anyone know about this? Thanks!!

For undergraduate student loan debt, do I have to start making payments if I am doing graduate work this fall?

I have subsidzed Stafford and Perkins Loans and I am going to graduate school in the fall I graduate in a week.
