No tax requirements to bring spouse is that true?

There was a woman on this board who was doing the same thing, sponsoring husband while living in another country, did not have any tax info. She called CIC and they told her she did not need it. He can include a letter with his application explaining why he does not have tax info. Should be fine.

Agree with this.
The sponsor is supposed to include the Option C form from his income tax, but if he did not file income tax, and has no income, then he should just write a letter explaining this situation and include it in the application, in lieu of the Option C.
I did this when I sponsored my husband - I had no Option C and no tax info for the previous year. I just explained my situation. There was never any problem with this during the process.
