Out of wedlock child, what should I do to make sure my child will get her citizenship

[Javeline]

Hi family,

I need your advice for my situation, I am a naturalized citizenship since 2021 and I have a girlfriend back home and when i visited my home country, we met and spend some days together and just known that she got pregnant. I know I am a bad person who has an affair when still be married. But now what can i do to help my child to be Canadian citizen? Declaring myself as father in her birth certificate with all of my information can help her citizenship application easier later?

The child will need to apply for citizenship and you will likely have to do a DNA test.
