Sponsor spouse question

Hi,

I know this should go in the family sponsorship area, but I was hoping someone from this forum would also be able to help me!

I am a Canadian citizen, and I recently got married to an Indian citizen - we are both working in the US on H1b visa. We want to apply for my husband's Canadian PR - and I was hoping someone who has gone through this process can help me.

I am concerned about the part where you have to prove you plan to re-settle in Canada once your spouse gets their PR status. My family is no longer in Canada and I have no current "attachments" there - no address, or even bank accounts apart from my old RRSP accounts. To complicate things even further, my husband and I just recently bought a house here in the US.

I was wondering what people have given as "proof of intent to settle in Canada" - I called up the customer service line and asked, and they said I have to provide "reasonable plans for re-establishing in Canada or severing ties to the other country". What can I say to that - I plan to sell my place, rent a place there and find a job??!!! Duh!

Any help or suggestions will be most appreciated!
