Start here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp

Even though the url refers to "spouse," this is the page to start at for information about sponsoring a spouse or child.

One of the parents needs to be eligible to sponsor the child. Among the more salient considerations is that the sponsor cannot be on what is, essentially, public welfare. Another consideration, if the sponsor is a PR, the sponsor needs to be in compliance with the PR Residency Obligation.

Another issue that can arise, depending on the circumstances of the birth and the formalities of the birth certificate, is establishing the sponsors parental relationship to the child. Since the child already obtained a multi-entry visa, I am assuming this part is already taken care of.

Overall, for most PRs in this situation, the process is relatively straight-forward and not difficult. But the formalities of the process need to be done in order for the child to obtain PR status. Follow the instructions.

So, again, go to the page I linked above, follow instructions and further links found there.

Thanks a lot for your guidance , we will start the process hoping that will work but reading through the link , one of the conditions is to submit notice of assessment which they don't have right now as the arrived this month only so does this mean that they have to wait 1 year before applying in order to get notice of assessment ?

There is another forum here for questions about immigrating to Canada, and a particular conference in that forum for "Family Class Sponsorship," where you are likely to obtain more pertinent and current information regarding the sponsorship of a dependent child.
See:
http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/family-class-sponsorship-b5.0/

It has been awhile (years) since I closely followed the family class sponsored PR process, and even then I was focused on spousal rather than dependent child applications (since I was, myself, a sponsored spouse, many years ago now). I do not recall specifically how to complete the application and checklist in this situation, or to what extent sponsoring a dependent child might be different than sponsoring a spouse. (For example, I know that there is no minimum income requirements for sponsoring a spouse, but I do not know how this works for sponsoring a dependent child; again, see the immigration part of this site, and the family class sponsorship forum in particular.)

While a cursory glance at the Family Class Sponsorship conference does not show a current topic about sponsoring a child, on page one of the list of topics, you can start a new topic to ask about sponsoring a child or you can dig into older topics to find information (or both).

Moreover, my experience with the IRCC/CIC website information suggests that multiple readings of most of the relevant pages is not just helpful but usually necessary, going back and forth between different parts, before even starting to put together an application. Revisit the eligibility information in depth, especially as to the eligibility of the sponsor to be a sponsor, go through the guide multiple times, and check the FAQs. The IRCC website is not as easy or intuitive to use as it should be (which leads people to turn to forums like the ones here), but carefully navigating its parts and links, diligently examining and considering the instructions, setting it aside for a day or three and then revisiting it again, can help considerably.

While there may be some rush in order to get the child qualified for provincially insured health care, probably best to approach this deliberately, methodically, and conscientiously, getting the formalities right. Too often rushing leads to mistakes which can delay processing.

Good luck (even though this should be straight-forward enough that luck is not necessary).

Here is the application form you need: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/fc.asp

This application form is for an outland application but that is necessary in this case because there is no inland application possible for a dependent child alone. A spouse also has the option of inland. Not that it matters. Just that the file will be processed in their home country visa office to some extent.

There is no specific income requirement to sponsor a dependent child. Just that immigration should not think they will end up on welfare. They should not be taking welfare when they apply. The PR sponsor must reside in Canada so the PR sponsor should not leave Canada for more than a short vacation (2-3 weeks) during the processing time. If the PR sponsor leaves Canada for a longer period and immigration finds out, they can cancel the application.

Also make sure they have emergency insurance for the baby until she can get provincial health care.

Thanks a lot for the thorough explanation that i am sure my brother will benefit a lot from these information. I hope that will be a straight forward case as the baby already in Canada, has a private insurance for 1 year, financially we have no problem , and my brother are staying in Canada. just another question ... as I am the baby uncle and Canadian citizen who work full time and financially stable, does it help if I sign deceleration that I will support the baby financially, including all expenses just to strengthen the application

Thanks

Only one sponsor is needed for a child and that is one of the parents. Your statement is not required.
