What does this question mean - If spouse is a part year resident do you want to prorate the non-refundable tax credits?

my spouse and I immigrated to Canada on April 15, 2022. One of the questions states - "if spouse is a part year resident do you want to prorate the non-refundable tax credits?"
What does this question mean?
