    You should choose "Myself" and when asked, you will say married and your spouse is a non-resident with zero income (as she did not make income in Canada). Do not claim a spousal amount if you are not supporting her.

     

    For more information, you may be interested in the TaxTips.ca information about Non-Resident Spouse.
