May I have a co-signer?
Your spouse or common-law partner may help you meet the income requirement by co-signing the sponsorship application. A common-law partner is a person who is living with you in a conjugal relationship and has done so for at least one year prior to the signing of the undertaking.

The co-signer must:

• meet the same eligibility requirements as the sponsor;
• agree to co-sign the undertaking;
• agree to be responsible for the basic requirements of the person you want to sponsor and his or her family members for the validity period of the undertaking.

The co-signer will be equally liable if obligations are not performed.

Application to Sponsor, Sponsorship Agreement and Undertaking (IMM 1344)
Part 1: Application to sponsor and undertaking
Question 3
You can’t have a co-signer if you are sponsoring your spouse, common-law partner or conjugal partner.

You can't have a co-signer for spousal sponsorships so just leave those empty/write N/A. Co-signers can be used when sponsoring dependants and parents and the like.
