VerifiedHello! My name is Debra (formerly known as Legal Ease). Thank you for your question. I'm reviewing it now, and will post back again shortly.
Was your son's father a Canadian when your son was born?
You are not eligible for residency.
Your son is deemed to be a Canadian citizen and he can apply for proof of citizenship quite easily. And he can move to Canada when he likes but he cannot sponsor you until he reaches the age of majority and has an income so he can support you in Canada if necessary.
Here is a link to the information about your son getting proof of citizenship:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/canadian-citizenship/proof-citizenship/apply.html
Once he gets that he can get a passport.
Does that fully answer your question?
Please feel free to post back with any follow-up questions you may have. If you don't have any then I hope I have earned a 5 star rating but if you don't feel that I have please don't hesitate to reply back and let me know what more I can do to assist you. Finally, please know that even after you rate me I will be here for you and you can ask follow-up questions if you think of them later on at no further charge of course.
