You can not claim a "Spouse" as Eligible Dependent. You may be able to claim a spouse for the spousal or common-law partner amount provided their net income is below $11,653 for the entire year. You will need to indicate that your marital status has changed in 2017 to common-law and that you meet the CRA guidelines for this declaration.
Be aware that advising CRA of a change in marital status can have an impact on previously received amounts such as GST and Child Tax Benefits.
