No, it's not true.

A son has to be at least 21 years of age in order to petition for father's permanent residency (green card), which is not a citizenship.

A father has to be eligible for adjustment of status in order to apply for a green card while in USA and without having to go back to his home country.

If you're over 21 years of age AND you are also a U.S. citizen, you may petition for your dad. If you're not a citizen and just a resident, then you'll have to become one in order to file a relative petition for your dad.
