Does spouse need to get criminal background check from Canada too?

I'm sponsoring my US citizen husband and both of us are in the US. On the application it says to get a criminal background check from all places you lived for consecutive 6 months since you were 18 years old. A decade ago, my husband stayed in Canada with me for about 7 months. Does he need to get one from Canada too?

No. It's "every country...EXCEPT Canada." If an RCMP check is required, the visa office will request it themselves.
