Hello all I am from NY and I married a Canadian citizen. I do get lost in all the reading involved with this process. Can anyone give me the place to start and any tips.

Place to start! read the first part of Leon post called "spousal sponsorship" - mostly the first page of the thread, it will give you an overview.
Then go to CIC here and download the guideline for outland applications here http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp + the specific instructions for US applicants...follow the link for outland applications, print it, read it, (pull your hair out - that's optional!), and start gathering proofs... it takes a while, but it all makes sense after a while, and there are a lot of US/Can couples on the forum who can help with US related questions.
Good luck,
Sweden

I was reading and it says you can't be bankrupt .... does that mean have no money or you have applied for bankruptcy anyone know ?

The sponsor can't be in a current bankrupcty case. If the bankruptcy has been discharged, he/she can sponsor.

If you're also broke, you can sponsor as long as you aren't on social assistance (welfare).

Give this a read: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/3900ETOC.asp#3900E2
