If the kids are born outside Canada to one naturalized Canadian or Canadian born parent, then the kids are Canadian by descent.

The kids will not have canadian citizenship if one or both Canadian parents are Canadian by descent.

When they get their Canadian citizenship certificate, their citizenship is effective since birth, regardless of when they apply for citizenship certificate.
