No need for income requirement to sponsor spouse who has no independent children.
He needs to submit the Print out option C (income tax remittance)

I'm surprised how often this question comes up. Have you tried searching the forum to see if the question has been answered before? ;)

There are no income requirements for sponsoring your spouse. All the sponsor needs to show is that they're not on any sort of social assistance or other financial trouble (ie owe money for child support or are bankrupt). Read more about it here:

See the "You may not be eligible to be a sponsor if you:" part.

if you have no independent children then your husband does not need to prove his income requirement.
He will just need a print out option C (from canada revenue agency)

If possible, he can print out his bank statement and send it along with the application. (this is not a requirement).

again thank you very much
but i have two dependent children, one aged 15, the other 11. but they will not be travelling with me. they will stay behind and finish their studies here.
hows that?

You don't need income to sponsor a spouse or dependent children unless the dependent children also have children.  Besides, if the children are not coming with you, then he is not sponsoring the children, only you.
