i just got a b-2 last week. my parents and me,three of us went to the embassy. they were rejected as new immigrant, the reason was they have not been here for at least one year, although they have bank statement and housing. and another point is, they don't have business in canada. i got it for 3 years since i have been here for long time education. frankly, i would think that it is not a good time for you to apply the visa. but if you attend to, good luck.
