Hi, I am an applicant for PR ander the Canadian Experience Class. While my application was being processed I got married and so I notified the visa office that is considering my case of the changes in my marital status. They sent me an email where they requested to update my information in order to be able to process the application. In particular the following lines appeared in the message :

I want to include my wife in the application but the list confuses me a bit. I understand the item
" Updated IMM0008 Generic and IMM5406 “Additional Family Information” form for yourself." That's right, I have to include my wife in the application form as an accompanying family member and also change IMM5406 - additional family information form for myself. But now what does the phrase
"... including Form IMM0008E-Generic, IMM0008E-Schedule 1, and Form IMM5406 for your spouse " mean?
My wife has completed Schedule 1 and Form IMM5406 but does she also have to complete the Generic form? As far as I know from the instructions on CIC site, this form has to be comleted by the principal applicant only, that is me. So the fact that my wife will be included in the application has to be mentioned only in my Generic form. Could anyone please confirm I understand this correctly? Thank you very much.
