It depends where your spouse is from and whether you sponsor your spouse outland or inland (from within Canada). If your spouse has children under 19 years old, they can be included in the application as well as dependents.

Note that you must be living in Canada to sponsor your spouse. You cannot sponsor your spouse from outside of Canada.
