There's nothing to check. This doesn't apply to your situation. You didn't obtain citizenship through descent.

The child will get citizenship by birth.
My ex-husband got here in Canada as a PR holder, and he became a Canadian Citizen later. But my baby was born in my country before I got my PR.
However, we applied for my child's citizenship while we were in my country, and it was approved. As a result, my baby received citizenship from birth. And he got his Canadian passport also when we were in my country.
