Do I need to fill out forms for children who are already Canadian?

I am Canadian, born in Canada, and moved to the United States. I live with my husband, who was born in the United States and is American. We had two children while in the US. They are both Canadian (through me) and American (by birth). I have gotten their paperwork to prove that they are Canadian citizens (certificates).

I am sponsoring my husband to come to Canada, we are planning to move in the spring.

If I am already Canadian, and my children have proof of their Canadian citizenship, do I need to include them in any forms other than IMM 5406 where my husband states that he has children?

I will most likely be moving to Canada with my parents and I will be bringing my children on my own. My husband will follow us later because he has to take care of our house and his job.

I'm just unsure as to whether or not I need to include my children in the application since they are already Canadian citizens.

They are not included in the app, as they do not need to be sponsored. Your husband needs to list them on IMM5406, and you need to include them in the family member count on IMM5481, question 6b, and list them on the following page.
