If your wife was born in Canada or was naturalized in Canada before the child was born, then the child is Canadian.

If your wife is Canadian by descent, meaning she was born outside of Canada to Canadian parents, the child is not Canadian and will need to be sponsored for PR.

I really don't understand what you are trying to say.

Again, if your wife was born in Canada or naturalized in Canada prior to the child being born, then the child is Canadian.

For the THIRD TIME, if your wife was born in Canada OR naturalized in Canada prior to the child being born, then the child is Canadian.

Yes, your child IS CANADIAN.
