My child will be born outside of Canada in 5 months, will he be eligible for Canadian Citizenship?

My dad came to Canada in 1990, then he sponsored me in 1993. After a year, he applied for Canadian citizenship, and he included my name in the application as an dependent because I was 14 at that time. In 1995 I became a naturalized Canadian. So, in this case will my child be eligible for Canadian citizenship? .. Thanks for answering.

Can you please please clarify the message below, thanks

This is what somone wrote to me:
If you are a Canadian citizen either born in Canada or naturalized then your child is eligible for proof of Canadian citizenship certificate. Keep in mind that if you were born outside Canada and your parents transferred the Canadian citizen to you, your child is not a Canadian citizen.

And this is from CIC:
We are proceeding with the processing of your application for permanent residence on the assumption
that your child is a Canadian citizen. If you determine that your child is not a Canadian citizen (for
example, because your sponsor was born outside of Canada to a Canadian citizen who was also born
outside of Canada)
, it is your responsibility to provide evidence that your child is not eligible for issuance
of a Canadian citizenship card or passport. Please provide our office with written confirmation, for
example a copy of the letter issued by Citizenship & Immigration Canada or the Consular Section stating
that your child is not a Canadian citizen.

You are a naturalized Canadian citizen, by your own description. Therefore your children will ALL be Canadian, either by birth or by descent.
