My husband has a son from his previous marriage but do not have the custody. In a way the Son is taken care by the mother/grandparents. Are we supposed to declare him on the PR application. I am the principal applicant and have not mentioned his son on EE profile/OINP application.
Is this required to be declared anywhere throughout the PR process.

As per my understanding - you need to declare him within your EE profile, but you do not need to apply for him as a dependant if you don't want to, since your husband doesn't have custody. If you don't declare him, then your husband will be unable to sponsor him at any time in the future and it is considered misrepresentation.

Yes, absolutely - your EE profile can be updated online and for your OINP application, you can send them an email with required attachments and letter of explanation. I did my application on my own, so I'm not aware of the role of a consultant; but if you are paying a consultant shouldn't this person know all this?
We all know what the consultants actually do. It was my bad I took help cause I had little or no time to do it myself. I have contacted them and waiting to see their advise.
My Consultant advised that the declaration is not required, as the EE profile asks information only for dependant children. Also OINP does not ask for this information.
I was also checking the CIC website and no where does it mention non-dependant children.
We're not that far with our application but I'm stuck on the same issue. My husband has three children from a previous marriage, he has no contact with them due to parental alienation from the ex wife, however we pay monthly maintenance. This, I suppose, makes them dependants. We will continue with maintenance payments until they reach the legal age, however, do we need to declare them on our application? If so, what other information will be required w.r.t the children, since I cannot foresee any cooperation from their mother. Perhaps we'll need a court order in this regard?
Advice will really be appreciated.
Thanks
For those asking about including children who are not in their custody, you will find detailed Information about another case here:

# 3791 on page 253, and there is more discussion on prior pages.
I found a great website in answer to non-accompanying children. Bottom line is they are relatives and they need to be declared, whether they will ever come to Canada or not. meurrensonimmigration.com/Non-accompanying Dependants and Medical Exams
In my case, my husband is not paying for his kid, no custody and there are absolutely remote chances of his ex-wife and her parents entertaining any request from our side. Not sure if I should wait or proactively let them know of the situation. We have submitted his talaqnama with translation not sure if thats sufficient. Regarding the declaration to let go right to sponsor the kid, I guess my husband will be ready to do that.
Research requirements in OP Manuals and official government websites. Also check out refusals and judgements on appeal cases. I have no experience with this issue apart from posts on this Forum, but from the refusal I quoted, it appears the onus is on the applicant to PROVE they have tried every possible way to OBTAIN X-rays and passports. Giving up custody doesn't appear to meet that standard. All the best.
