Hello. If anybody knows, should I include in this form my husband's son from previous marriage even though he is a Canadian citizen born in Canada? Thanks

Yes.

My wife (PA) was in the same situation. We included both MY kids (her-step 'kids') as step children on her disclosure, even though both were Canadian citizens. I also attached copies of their citizenship papers to prove it just in case.

Thank you for a quick reply! But I would only need to include my step son in the "Additional family information" form and I wouldn't have to declare him as my dependent, right?

That depends on whether they are 'dependents' as defined by CIC or not (have a read of the CIC on-line completion notes and guidelines in this respect). I made it clear that mine were not (as they were 26 and 28, both lived in their own houses and had jobs).
