No, US citizen child can sponsor for the parents to come to US. Once they get their green card either through consular process staying outside US or Form I-130 petition while in US, they are eligible to apply for US citizenship by naturalization process by filing Form N-400 after continuous stay in US as green card holders for minimum 5 years.

Does a child born to a visitor to Canada get citizenship if the parents are both from Egypt?

No. The citizenship requirements are that any person born in Canada after February 15, 1977 is not a citizen unless, at the time of the birth, at least one parent was already a Canadian citizen or permanent resident as well. Thus, because neither parent is a Canadian citizen, the child will not be either. Egypt will still claim them as (or they can claim themselves to be) a citizen of Egypt though, as they were born to two Egyptian parents.
