See if you can get a tourist visa for your wife and have her and your child come to Canada with you so you can clear your name?

Are you planning to return to Canada to live, or do you just want to settle the issues and have your passport renewed?

If it's just to settle issues then there's no sponsorship process but your wife will have to come to Canada as a visitor. Depending on her nationality, she may or may not need a Visa. If she does not need a visa then all you have to do is get an eTA and travel to Canada.

I tried a tourist visa and they denied her

I asked around and people told me they will deny her visa because i am canadian.... when i sponser her and it is accepted than they will accept her visa reasons were family ties in canada and in country of residence, purpose of visit, personal assets and financial staus and family ties i got them a note from my dad that we will be staying in his home..purpose of visit was so mu family can see my new born son i told them that and i showed them 20 thousand dollars in bank account

You cannot be a sponsor if any of the following (relating to criminality) applies to you:

You are detained in any penitentiary, jail, reformatory or Prison
You've been convicted of:

an offence of a sexual nature, or an attempt or a threat to commit such an offence, against any person,
an indictable offence involving the use of violence and punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years, or an attempt to commit such an offence, against any person, or
an offence that results in bodily harm, as defined in section 2 of the Criminal Code, to any of the following persons or an attempt or a threat to commit such an offence against any of the following persons:

a current or former family member of the sponsor,
a relative of the sponsor, as well as a current or former family member of that relative,
a relative of the family member of the sponsor, or a current or former family member of that relative,
a current or former conjugal partner of the sponsor,
a current or former family member of a family member or conjugal partner of the sponsor,
a relative of the conjugal partner of the sponsor, or a current or former family member of that relative,
a child under the current or former care and control of the sponsor, their current or former family member or conjugal partner,
a child under the current or former care and control of a relative of the sponsor or a current or former family member of that relative, or
someone the sponsor is dating or has dated, whether or not they have lived together, or a family member of that person;​

Considering that small theft and failure to appear in court do not seem to be listed above and as long as you are not sentenced to prison time, you should be able to sponsor your wife. However, you should probably sort out the legal issues before you apply which might mean that you will have to be separated from your wife while that takes place.

I would advise seeking counsel from a lawyer regarding the criminal charges and perhaps also your immigration questions.

There is pretty much no chance that your wife will be approved for a TRV. You will need to come to Canada alone to sort out your criminal issues. You can then go back and live with your wife and apply for sponsorship.

The issue is not the type of offence. It's that they won't renew the sponsor's passport. That's the block to sponsorship.

I could be wrong, but a Canadian citizen does not need to submit a passport to be able to sponsor... A birth certificate would suffice to show eligibility as a citizen.

I realize that the OP is currently outside of Canada and that they must show intent to return; and not having a passport makes that difficult. However, the OP could get a temporary travel document allowing them to return to Canada to sort out the legal issues. Staying in Canada could then satisfy the intent to return requirement for sponsorship.

Yes, it would mean being separated during the process; but I would say that it is possible to sponsor this way.
