As you are the Canadian citizen it is you who would be sponsoring your spouse.  For a spousal application, you do not have to provide any information on your finances or how you would support your spouse during the sponsorship period.

It is wise to provide information however on what funds you and your spouse would be bringing with you to Canada to set yourselves up with.

I have just noticed in one post you say you have a boyfriend in India, now you say you have a husband who is Indian.  

If you give conflicting information like this, you are not going to get clear answers on your situation.  Make up your mind.  Are you married or not?

i am sorry, i have so much on my mind that i have typed wrong, the indian guy is my boyfriend whom i met back in 2004....sorry again!   i hope that clears things.  thanks  :D  for the information, it is much appreciated.

OK look, first you have to read the CIC website.  Posting all these different posts here for every little question is soon going to get people fed up with you.  If you take the time to read the CIC website first you will start to know the answers to many of your questions.  When you can't interpret what CIC says, then is the time to ask questions here.

First, you can't sponsor a boyfriend unless you have been living together for at least a year and can prove it with backup evidence as described on the CIC website under Spousal sponsorship.  You have to sponsor him as your common-law spouse in that case.
