Response to some of your queries is as follows,
1. DO NOT HIDE ANYTHING PERIOD. so go with second approach.
2. Family members are ONLY SPOUSE & CHILDREN (in your case SPOUSE, only)
3. In any case, PCC can be submitted later but it has no bearing when the passport is issued. PCC for either last 1o years, or since 18 yrs of age if the person is less than 28 yrs old is required (can be submitted later).
4. No document of parents/siblings required if you are not claiming any points for RELATIVES In CANADA. In such a case, you have to provide birth certificates which prove the relation in Canada
5. Marriage certificate is enough to include your spouse.
6. Q# 15, yes you are spouse of your spouse so enter your name.
