When i filled in my taxes after my marriage, I added my wife in as my spouse/dependant. The federal tax went through with no issues, they accepted that i had added her, but the Quebec gov't refused the addition of my wife as a dependant since she wasn't in Canada yet. So i got one ok, and one not-ok, lol. this year it will be the same since she didn't land in Canada by the 31st of December, but inshallah next year even the quebec gov't will accept my request to add her in as a spouse/dependant.umme hani said:can any buddy tell me how one should add name in canadian tax payers as spouse i mean which department should we inform
