newcomers- spouse in home country

I have a client who came to Canada in 2022 with her child, but her husband is still in Ukraine. Her income in Ukraine from Jan 1 to landed date is $700, and her husband $500. From landed date to Dec 31, 2022, she earned $10000 in Canada, and her husband $900 in Ukraine. My questions are 

- how should I filled out line 52630, 52670,52920, 52930 based on the examples above?

- if she could claim spouse amount on her return (line 30300)

- for form MB479, do I need to adjust "the basic credit for spouse" from $195 (line 9) to zero since he was not in Canada?

- for GST credit form, do I need to change "the credit for spouse" from $325 to zero?

 

Thank you so much for you reply.
