Few questions
My wife did a photography course in usask continuing education for 3 months once in a week (half day). Do I have to add that in her application under education? There was no certificate given since its more like a hobby course.

Another question, she was a house wife 4 years.. What is the reason for unemployment I should give?

Final one, her name was changed by adding my name in the passport after we married. In India we dnt have name change certificate when its a name change due to marriage.. What is my option here?

In the application guide, you need to provide education records for education done
Check the education records section:

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/CIT0002ETOC.asp#section4

Now its upto you if you want to include it or not in the education section. If you can arrange: report cards; or transcripts; or attendance records then you can mention it.

If she was house wife, mention her as homemaker (you still need to write the exact reason of being unemployed/homemaker, same thing has been told under Q 6 F section). Now you are the best judge to tell why she was a homemaker. Find some genuine reason that you know like: unemployed because couldn't find a job or searching for a job while being homemaker or homemaker because wanted to take care of children etc etc. Now check your situation and write the exact reason that suits you.

You can show the passport copy reflecting her new name. Same is mentioned in the link if you look NAME CHANGE Section under the following link:
