After Returning my to home country my daughter was born on 2nd October, 2008.

You have already met the residency requirements for your first 5 years as a PR so you will have no problems. Your wife and son must go to Canada early enough that they can also meet the residency requirements before their PR cards expire. Your wife must go to Canada at least 97 days before it expires, your son at least 146 days. When you apply to renew your PR cards, if one of you is short of the 730 days, do not apply, rather wait until the requirements are met. Otherwise your application will take much longer and may even be refused.

As for your daughter, you can apply for her visit visa but it may be denied. You may try to apply for TRP but it may also be denied. If nothing works, one of you must go to Canada and sponsor her for PR while the other one stays behind and takes care of her or unless you both go and leave her with other relatives. You can find the processing times on the CIC website. They depend on what country you come from but usually it takes several months.
