Why CIC asks you to fill info about your family members? So if they later decide to come to Canada you can sponsor them?

Please be clear that background checks are ONLY done on your spouse and/or children over the age of 18. Background checks are NOT performed on siblings or parents but you must list them in your application on the required form.

Family means your spouse and children not your parents or siblings.

What's the source of this information?
What do you mean, the source? CIC would be the source. Experience in immigration would verify the information. Only your spouse and your children (over 18) have background checks run on them when you apply for PR or you apply to sponsor your spouse.
