Hi mittens,
This will depend if you are Canadian citizen or permanent resident:
If you are citizen and they are your children, they are Canadian citizen born abroad, and you cann't sponsor the, you need to apply for their proof of canadian citicen.
If you are permanent resident you need to read the guide for the sponsor page 7, where they difine  the dependents and categorized by A, B, C.
Hope that help.
