Illegitimate child

[armoured]

The mother agree to give the full custody. Knowing that in the long run as the biological mother she will come here in Canada and live with him. Can the child petition his biological mother in the future…?

I agree with what @scylla said but would state MUCH more strongly: the fact that the child lives in Canada (even when a citizen) does NOT mean that the mother will be able to come and live with him.

The mother should not do this on that basis or understanding - she needs to understand that it does not even mean that she will be granted visas to come and visit, let alone stay. (While IRCC won't maliciously deny a visitor's visa, they can also decide a child of 14+ years can go visit her)

For the child - now 13 - to sponsor the parent, under current rules that is at least 10-15 years away (assuming the child wants to and makes enough money to sponsor her, for several years in a row), AND is drawn in the parental lottery.

That's under current rules and programs for sponsoring parents, which lottery they haven't opened for new applicants now for several years. It's perhaps more likely that they'll change the program (in ways we can't predict) or cancel it entirely.

In short: it would be outright foolish of her to agree to this on the basis she'll somehow get to Canada, and simply cruel to tell her or let her believe that it's the case.

Of course, if she can qualify to get to Canada on her own, that's fine, but then this isn't needed.

And what happens if my wife doesn’t want to agree?

As noted, she can't stop you. That doesn't make it a good idea.

To sponsor him I know it’s not gonna be easy is there any age limit to sponsor the child he is 13 yrs old now?

As long as sponsored before he reaches 22 years of age. (Standard caveat that doing close to 22nd birthday means increased risk of technical issues).

Without knowing anything more about your case than what you've stated here, in some cases doing so when child reaches 18 can make sense - as an adult, permission of other parent not needed, etc.

And side note that it really would make sense (if you've not done so) to meet the child, and consider having child come to Canada at some point to visit.

I have already met him. But my problem is my family here are against to sponsor the child. I know that I can do this independently but regarding the family income is as joint income me and my wife. How is that possible.

There is no income requirement.

You need to make sure that he will be taken care of if he immigrates to Canada. And his mother needs to know about what full custody means.

As other members pointed out, the mother of the child will not be able to move here with the child. She may not even get TRV (if she needs TRV to travel to Canada). If your family here is opposing to have the child here (against to sponsor), then where is he going to live?

Yes thank you for your advice. I will try to convince my family so that if he come it’s gonna be fine.
