US B1/B2 Visa - minimum stay in Canada before you can successfully get it?

[fl_pie]

I plan to apply for a US B1/B2 shortly after moving to Canada (I would need it for a job interview). However, having ties to the country of residence is an important factor in being granted this visa. From your experience, what is the minimum amount of time you should stay in Canada before the US immigration officer would be satisfied you have ties and grant the visa? The lowest I've seen is 6 months, please share if you or somebody you know have successfully applied for this visa after living for a shorter amount of time.

Hi,

I applied 10 days after the landing and was granted a 10-year B1/B2 visa, only a couple questions asked about my previous J1 visa. I was married to a Canadian citizen at the time, so my ties to Canada were him.
