Applying for visitor visa from inside Canada with PGWP - Available Funds

[drewju]

Hello. I am currently in Canada. I have recently graduated and have a PGWP but I do not currently have a job. My visitor visa has expired and I would like to apply for a new one but I am not sure of what would be an acceptable amount to place on the application for section that asks "Funds available for my stay (Canadian dollars). Can anyone advise on if there is a minimum amount required? Thank you.

Why would you apply for another visa, you already have the PGWP that make you eligible to stay in Canada.

I need a visitor's visa in order to return to Canada if I leave to visit family back home.

In this case you will not only need to show proof of funds, but also meet all other eligibility requirements, like proof that you will leave Canada after your stay, as you were applying for the first time. https://www.cic.gc.ca/english/helpcentre/answer.asp?qnum=1287&top=22

Thank you for your response. Do you know if there is a minimum amount that needs to be shown for proof of funds?

No, but here is a nice thread about TRV + PGWP that might be helpful for you :
