No. If you did not include him in your PR application (had medical exam and listed as un accompanying), you can never sponsor him.
How did you immigrate? BTW he is not "newly defined dependent". He was NOT declared.
You can check to see if you and him meet the pilot project to sponsor undeclared family members. But I think you immigrated under an economics stream, so it's unlikely that you meet the pilot project requirement. (did you declare him at all? was he declared and you stated that he is exempted from being sponsored?)

I included him as a non accompany family member because my husband did not cooperated with me for his medical . I got my PR under live in care giver program.
