Hey. I am sponsoring my American husband to Canada. We have no kids. I am unemployed and have been for over a year. My Mother and Stepfather support me and want to support my husband. This is the letter we did. We made the point that they're employed full-time and have many valuable assets (a house, a car, etc), showing that they are capable of supporting us (We also provided My mother's and stepfather's option c printouts, employment letters, and paystubs). We showed how I was financially supported in the past and how I will continue to be supported along with my husband. Attached to this letter is proofs of all points. The bottom of the letter is signed by my Mother/Stepfather, along with a little statement. Hope this helps.
*Edit. I attached these items to IMM 5481, the sponsorship evaluation. I also included an explanation for question 2, where I checked "Unemployed". And I also included a letter by me, which I entitled "A Statement of Intentions", and a letter by my husband, which is also entitled "A statement of Intentions". If you'd like to see these papers too, let me know and I'll share them.
