How do I sponsor my American husband when he makes all the money

[LTPDVF]

I've lived in the states since 2012 when I married my husband. We want to move to Canada but I don't work in the states so can I still sponsor him to move to Canada? I don't have an income. We have a house in Ontario (no mortgage) and plan on opening a coffee shop on the commercial level. Can I sponsor him with a new business that we self-fund? Can he still work in the States while it's processing (his job is very good and that's what we're funding the business with)? I'm kind of unsure how to get started. Any advice is appreciated TIA

Have you read the spouse sponsorship statement reference the sponsor income ? Assuming you are a citizen the main requirement is showing intention to move to Canada which you obviously seem to have planned.

No income requirement for sponsoring spouse. You have to show intent to return and having a house and a plan to start a business is good to go.
