When you sponsor a spouse, common-law or conjugal partner, or dependent children to become permanent residents of Canada, you must demonstrate that you have the ability to support them. However you don't need to demonstrate a level of income that meets the minimum necessary income for a given family size, as is the case for sponsoring other relatives.

So what is the "Key" to show that " I do have have the ability to support my husband "

Canyou give me a clear guideline/example?

Thanks!

You need to submit, as requested, your Option C for the most current year, and ensure you complete the information regarding your work history.  This is what CPC-M uses in their evaluation of spousal sponsors.  If you have additional savings/investments, you can include those as well.
