Yoy cannot sponsor someone to become citizen but you can APPLY for your children.
This is from cic website:
If you are an adult (age 18 or older), use:
•Application for Canadian Citizenship—Adults.

If you are applying for your children (under age 18), use:
•Application for Canadian Citizenship—Minors.

You can apply for your children:
•at the same time you apply for yourself or
•after you have become a citizen.
