Hello Everyone!
So I am a Canadian Citizen sponsoring my husband. We have filled all the papers and have gotten all the documents ready but a complication has come up and need your urgent help and advise!
I do not have a job at the moment but am looking for one, I do not want to wait to apply until I get a job as I do not want to delay the application any further (already took a lot of time filling forms etc.). I am volunteering at a place (will get a letter from them) and signed up with local employment services to help me find a job.
I have also gotten a letter from my dad stating that he will support us until we can stand on our own feet. I have also provided proof of my savings..which is around $2000...i know not a lot but at least something! My husband has a steady job back in India and has savings of his own.
I thought this would be enough but many people are advising me to wait and find a job n then apply...they are saying that it is an unwritten rule but they tend to delay applications where the sponsor does not have a job. They are saying to make the application solid and then submit it...it will get approved faster that way.
Does anyone have advise regarding this situation?
Please and thank you.

It would be best for you to show that you are employed given your limited savings. Does you husband have more savings because you can show that as well? Given your husband will be new to Canada and it may take him a while to get employed you being employed would help.
