citizenship

[cmfugen]

hi

if my child get birth in canada and as  a new immigrant can i get citizenship earlier? few of my friends stated that there is something like that once your baby born in canada then she/he will automatically become canadian and on the basis of that we can apply for citizenship instead of waiting for three years. can anybody through some light on this, whether it is true or not? or is there any other way regarding this situation.
