More details to this question:
HI. I am a permanent resident here. I am sponsoring my spouse to come here as an immigrant next year or 2014. I have found that I need to have an annual income of 23800 with my little son to sponsor her. I have enough income but my employer pays a lot of it in cash. So at the end of year when I file tax can I file it as self employed income, so that my income reaches close to 24000? Is there any documents I have present to declare my self-earned income or not? please let me know.

If your income can be reflected on your tax return, that is the best way to prove the necessary level of support. Otherwise, a letter from your employer and any documentation they can provide would be needed. Of course, you could also find a second (joint) sponsor to make up any difference in your income and the level required.
