For CCTB you have to report your income and your spouses income to determine your eligibility. So as your spouse had no Canadian income, you have to know his overseas income.

Hi

it looks like they are more or only interested in the income earned before the applicants become PR. That income should not be counted as Canadian income. Why they ask that? The real question they need to ask about the income you earn in Canada and/or any income taxable for Canadian tax purpose.

Assuming that if i earned $70,000/year in USA, 2 months alter I moved to Canada, but no job and no income after moving to Canada, my income should be counted as 0.
