The parent does not bestow citizenship, Canada does, so the child will be a citizen no matter what the parent thinks.

If the child is eligible to get citizenship through a parent it will get it at birth.

The child can sponsor a parent, but only as an adult.

Apply for a proof of citizenship and see what happens.

It will be easier if you get the cooperation of the father in the process, because CIC will ask for:

•Proof that one or both of your natural parents were Canadian citizens when you were born i.e. your parent’s provincial or territorial birth certificate, naturalization certificate or Canadian citizenship certificate

which is faster obtained from the father himself. Just my 2 cents'.

The father can deny to CIC that he is the natural birth father of the child, should CIC contact him.

CIC can then take that denial at its face value, or, I have heard stories, that CIC can be ordered to request for the father & child to undergo a DNA test to determine 100% the parentage.

This will take a lengthier time, and of course, will cost you money, especially if you will need a hire a lawyer to fight it out with the father's denial.

CIC can't demand the punitive father have a DNA test, if he refuses, that is the end of it.

PMM, did you mean 'putative' not 'punitive' (although the behaviour of the (putative) father here might be punitive as well if he's denying being the Dad!!)

Ahh yes, CIC can only request for DNA test if they feel the need, but if the father does not cooperate, then there's nothing that can be done.

Thanks for clarifying that PMM.
