As long as the child's father is a Canadian citizen who was not born abroad (he did not inherit his citizenship, but was either born in Canada or naturalized as a Canadian), then he can pass his citizenship on to the child. You can't do anything about it, though, he is the one who must show proof of his citizenship and apply for his child's proof of citizenship when it is born.

thanks for your prompt response , as he is born outside canada applied for his citizenship by refugees .
am going for a visit to canada after few days what steps should we do incase he can sponsor the child ?

If he is a refugee who later became a citizen, you don't need to sponsor the child, as I said he can pass on the citizenship to the child.

If he is not a citizen but a permanent resident, he will have to sponsor the child. The first thing to do is to ensure that he is listed as the father on the birth certificate when the child is born. After that, he can submit a sponsorship application for the child to Case Processing Centre Mississauga. The application forms will indicate what information and documents are needed, and the visa office will also decide if they need any additional information or documents, such as a DNA test.

thank you alot , so in that case it does not matter if the mother gave birth is not from a common law or a marriage relation registered , as

It won't matter to Immigration that he is sponsoring his child and the mother is not his common-law partner. As long as he can prove the child is his and he is eligible to do so, he can sponsor his child.
