About us
A coordination service built around clarity
KINORA GENETICS is a DNA testing service and sample collection platform operated by Canadian International Business Development Corp.. Our role is to make testing understandable and properly documented: we advise on what is testable, verify identity, collect samples, maintain chain of custody where required, and deliver the resulting report securely.
We do not own or operate a laboratory, and no analysis takes place at our premises. Every sample we collect is transferred to a qualified, accredited laboratory partner that performs the analysis and issues the report.
One physical site
Richmond, BC serves as our Head Office and DNA Testing & Collection Centre. Everywhere else we list is a service area for collection coordination.
Partner-performed analysis
Accredited laboratory partners perform all testing and reporting. We never describe their facilities as our own.
Careful language
We describe what a report can indicate. We do not promise outcomes, acceptance, or guaranteed timelines.
Human coordination
A named coordinator manages your case, from the first question to report release.
Our role, precisely
What we do — and what we deliberately do not do
Being explicit about our boundaries protects your case and your expectations.
We do
- Advise on which test suits your question and who should participate
- Verify identity and obtain consent, including guardian consent for minors
- Collect samples at our Richmond centre or coordinate collection in service areas
- Maintain documented chain of custody for legal and immigration files
- Transfer samples to a qualified, accredited laboratory partner
- Release the partner laboratory's report through a secure portal and explain it in plain language
We do not
- Own or operate a laboratory, or perform analysis at any of our sites
- Guarantee results, probabilities, or turnaround times
- Guarantee that a court, authority, or organisation will accept a report
- Provide medical, diagnostic, legal, or immigration advice
- Offer clinical diagnostic, carrier screening, or disease-risk testing
- Describe service areas as offices — Richmond is our only physical location
Process
How a case moves through our workflow
- 01
Talk it through
A coordinator reviews your situation, confirms who should be tested, and explains what the report can and cannot show.
- 02
Book your collection
Attend our Richmond DNA Testing & Collection Centre, or ask about collection coordination in your service area.
- 03
Identity-verified sampling
Government-issued ID is checked where legal use is intended, and samples are sealed in tamper-evident packaging.

Accredited partner analysis
Samples are transferred to a qualified, accredited laboratory partner. KINORA GENETICS does not perform analysis.
- 05
Secure results
The partner laboratory's report is released to your private portal, with a debrief call available on request.
Standards
The commitments behind every case
Coordination, not guesswork
One named coordinator manages your case from intake to report release, so nothing falls between steps.
Accredited laboratory partners
Analysis is performed only by qualified, accredited laboratory partners. We never analyse samples ourselves.
Documented chain of custody
For legal and immigration files, every handoff is recorded with identity verification and tamper-evident seals.
Privacy by default
Personal information is handled under Canadian privacy legislation and shared only as needed to complete your test.
Clear, non-inflated language
We describe what a report can indicate, and we do not promise outcomes, acceptance, or guaranteed timelines.
Multilingual support
Coordination available in English, Mandarin, Cantonese, and Punjabi, subject to scheduling.
