@YTY2024 Welcome to the US of A. My first questions are :
(a) From your post I assume that you are on work visa -- which please ? When did you enter the USA with this work visa ?
(b) When your husband visits you , should I assume that he comes here as a visitor ( B visa or nil visa ) and not under a dependent visa ? Is he a Canadian citizen like you ? Or different ?
(c) Which tax year are you filing ?
(d) Why do you want to file jointly and thereby include his world income under US taxes ?
I ask these questions ( pardon for the intrusiveness thereof ) because I disagree with many of your assumptions and therefore need to calibrate to the actual facts and circumstances.
I will come back once I hear from you --yes ?
