Should I declare my Canadian daughter as my dependent in Sponsorship forms?

My daughter inherited her Canadian citizenship from her mother who is sponsoring my inland application. Should I define her as my dependent in the forms like "Additional Dependent Declaration, IMM 008 DEP". Or should I not mention her as she is Canadian and does not need sponsorship?

Also, under the Sponsorship Evaluation Form "5) Current Undertaking: Number of persons included in box#3 of the Generic Application Form of Canada", should my wife write "2" representing me and my daughter or only "1" representing me since my daughter is not being sponsored.

No need to mention.

Only "1".

She is not included as a dependent but does need to be listed on the Additional Family Information form and the Sponsorship Evaluation form.

The daughter needs to be included in 6B, "Every other family member...".
