I can't tell whether you have a wife who is a canadian citizen.  If so, she might be able to sponsor you as long as 1) enough time has elapsed since your conviction and 2) you are considered rehabilitated.

Your father can't sponsor you because you're too old.  Your son isn't old enough to sponsor you yet.  So it depends whether you have a wife who's eligible.
