Police certificates in case of Accompanying spouse

Hi,

I am the primary applicant and I have added my wife as an accompanying partner. My wife has stayed in Australia and US for more than six months. Therefore, she is getting her police certificates from those countries.

Do I need to also get them, even though I did not stay in US and Australia?

I am just a bit confused by the language on the ircc page: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/express-entry/apply-permanent-residence/police-certificates.html

It says:

Our online system will ask for a police certificate for:

  • you and your family members who are 18 years or older
  • and
  • every country you (or a family member) stayed in during the last 10 years for 6 months or more in a row
