Whats going on with the canister filter and driftwood?

The driftwood won' sink. It's too big to boil. I'm not sure if it's filtering at an appropriate flow rate.

What kind of wood is it? What filter and what size tank?

Depending on the type of wood it may take awhile to sink. If you have some large river stones you can usually get the driftwood to stay down, just make sure it's stable.
As others have asked how deep is the sand, what kinds of plants, and what fish are in the tank? Some types of fish will uproot plants either by directly pulling on them or through digging.
If you're keeping fish that like to dig you can try planting in mini pots and adding rocks to keep them submerged. The growth rate will be affected but it's a potential solution. There are also plant weights that can be used to get stem plants started but I haven't found them particularly necessary or useful.
