No it doesn't. Only your spouse requires criminal records checks from countries where she has resided for 6 months or more since turning 18.

Only people who are eligible to be sponsored along with your wife (basically, any dependent children of hers who are not already Canadian citizens) would need a criminal clearance - and only if they are over the age of 18. Sounds like, in your case, it's just your wife who has to provide criminal clearances from anywhere she has lived for more than six months since turning 18 years of age.
