I was conceived in 1944 from a Canadian he served in Canadian royal air force in WW2 (not 100% sure I have his correct name) and he was over in the U.K. when he met my mother.. father not on birth certificate..can i qualify for canadian citizenship
Would the DNA route help to prove what percentage I am Canadian
Thank you

No - DNA does not prove what percentage you are Canadian. There is nothing in DNA that indicates citizenship.

To be confirmed as a Canadian citizen, you would need to first know the identity of your father and be able to locate him (assuming he is still alive). You would then need to demonstrate that he was a Canadian citizen at the time of your birth (through his birth certificate or passport or some other form of identity document). You would then have to prove that you are his child. If he is not listed on your birth certificate - then you could prove this through DNA. If you cannot locate your father and/or he is no longer alive - then I don't see a path to Canadian citizenship for you through descent.
