Karina, make sure you bring proof of ties back to the U.S. (letter from employer, car papers, apartment lease, utility bills, pay stubs) and any/all paperwork for your husband's K3 showing he's the one immigrating, not you. Although the general rule is to only answer what they ask, I think it's safe to try and slip in that you're applying for a U.S. visa for him.

Also since they stamped your passport with 6 months, have proof with you that you left when you said you left the last time (boarding pass back to the U.S., paystubs showing you were at work, etc.). Not sure if they'll question that, but you never know.

Good advice. Bring as much doc's as you can and your US immigration paperwork for your husband. Also you are allowed a total of 6 months a year as a visitor in Canada. Anything more is considered an overstay. The CBSA officer will question you until they are content that you are a bon a fide visitor and are not "living" in Canada. The more info you can provide to prove you do not spend more than 6 months of the year in Canada and that the intent is for your husband to immigrate to the US the better.
