Child passport and visa is getting expired prior to parent's

I am a Pakistani citizen holding a Pakistani passport. My child has a valid Canadian visit visa on his passport and it is going to expire on Apr 2020. (Both passport and Visa) However my passport has a longer validity (both visa and passport).

My question is: How can my child stay longer than expiry? Do I need to renew his passport and re apply for his there in Canada or I need to fly back to Pakistan, renew his passport and apply new visitor visa?

A visa normally does not extend beyond the passport's expiration date.

You can renew your child's passport in Canada. There is a long list of required documents on this page of the Pakistani Embassy in Toronto. I'm not going to reproduce it here. I suspect that you cannot use the online passport renewal application.

Once you have the new passport, you will have to apply for a new visa for your child.

I assume the child has a TRV (Temporary Resident Visa). You can apply to extend/renew/get a new one in Canada. This page discusses extending the stay using a paper form. It's possible to apply online but you may it helpful to read through this page. Highlights include:

Apply at least 30 days before the TRV expires but current processing times are closer to 60 days--check
Every dependent must apply separately

If you are currently an Italian citizen, you must have been an Italian citizenship at the time of your child's birth in order for them to be able to apply for citizenship. Furthermore, if you have acquired dual citizenship in a second country, you must have done so after your child's birth.
