If the minor is the biological mother of the infant she can. But, the person named as the father has the right to contest the matter and request a paternity test if he so chooses. If the couple are unmarried, and the father denies paternity, the court will require paternity to be established before any issues regarding the child (child support, custody, visitation, etc.) will be addressed.

Since the mother herself was born in Canada, the child is eligible for Canadian citizenship.

In the meantime, the child still can enter to Canada using his/her American passport or birth certificate (birth certificate can be used instead of a passport only if he or she is under 15).

on my daughters birth certificate she has both mine and her fathers last name.He never signed it so i'm wondering if i could just drop his name off her birth certificate?

Yes, in most states changing a child's name is as simple as posting it in the courthouse (after signing applicable paperwork) for thirty days or so. Check with your vital records office or with the customer service number at your local courthouse for instructions. If her father did not sign the birth certificate, and if she is under 18 years old, his signature will not be required.
