Does my dad have to fill out an OPTION C handout?

[Lemondrop78]

I am sponsoring my husband from the US and I'm in the US.  I don't have any income to show cause I'm a stay at home mom and he's the sole provider.  I'm going to write a letter telling immigration that when we move to Canada we will be staying with my parents at their house and they will be financially responsible until we can be on our own.  I'm going to include my dad's last years tax forms.  Do I need to call and get an option C handout for my dad to fill out?  thanks.

If you are a Canadian citizen, you can sponsor your spouse without being in Canada but you do then have to prove that you are planning on moving to Canada when your spouse gets approved for permanent residency.  Such proof can include having arranged jobs, being accepted to college, having arranged housing or letters from friends & relatives stating that they know of your plans and that you can stay with them while you look for housing etc. Therefore as you mentioned a letter of undertaking is perfect from your dad. I don't see the use of Opt "C" for him.

Nope.
