Do you and your partner meet your RO? When did you land as PRs and how much time have you spent in Canada? Has your partner returned to Canada? You will need a new account for the baby

We lived for 22 months and Our PR expiring in Aug 2024
What is important for RO is 5 years from your landing date not expiry date of PR card. That would likely mean that your 5 years ends around June 2024. Did you live in Canada after landing before returning to your home country for 22 months?

Purpose if visit would be other. To accompany parents who are PRs. It is very important that you remain compliant with your RO. To sponsor your child once you are in Canada you must be compliant with your RO or you risk your own status. Next question is yes you want to submit application for family member. Next answer is one although a baby can’t really grant you authorization
