In the guide it states that you only put your spouse or your children if they are not Canadian citizens. In your case your spouse and her children are Canadian citizens and you stated that you have no children of your own. So you would put Not Applicable in for that question. If you had children that were not Canadian citizens you would fill out this question, even if they were not coming with you. This is because if sometime in the future you wanted to sponsor any of your non-Canadian children you would be able to. If you have non-Canadian children and they were not coming with you and you did not fill in their information on this question you would have a hard time to sponsor them in the future.

There is another part in the application called Additional Family Information, this is where you list your spouse, mother, father, brothers, sisters, your children and your spouses children (as step-children).
