Contact the nearest Canadian Consulate. They should be able to help you with that. I believe the baby shall have Canadian citizenship.

Since you did not say how you got your Canadian citizenship, a caveat is if you are a citizen by descent yourself, or if you were naturalized after your baby was born, then your baby is not a Canadian citizen at this time. You will have to apply for your baby's PR before you can apply for his/her citizenship, provided that you have the mother's permission or sole custody to be able to bring your baby to Canada.

I am a naturalized citizen long before my baby was born. My issue is my baby was born while i was separated from my previous wife not divorced

Irrelevant. Your child is a Canadian citizen.
