Clarify. You said "both of them are and my wife PR". Are your children and spouse PRs?

You need to apply for Certificates of Citizenship for the children and to sponsor your wife. These are different apps sent to different places. Fees are listed on the website. You don't need to show proof of funds to sponsor your spouse but do need to show how you support yourselves in Canada AND proof of intent to return to Canada.

There is no proof of funds requirement for spousal sponsorship. However you will have to provide hard evidence / proof that you will be returning to Canada and live here once your wife's PR application is approved.
