DNA testing in Vancouver

KINORA GENETICS coordinates paternity, immigration and relationship DNA testing for clients in Vancouver. Our Richmond DNA Testing & Collection Centre is roughly 25–35 minutes from downtown Vancouver by car, and reachable on the Canada Line.

Vancouver is a service area, not an office. Our only physical location is our Head Office and DNA Testing & Collection Centre in Richmond, BC.

Collection options

How Vancouver clients provide a sample

The right pathway depends on whether your result is for personal knowledge or for legal, official or immigration use.

  • Attend an appointment at our Richmond centre, the closest professional collection option to Vancouver
  • Coordinated collection at a mutually agreed location in Vancouver where a case requires it
  • Home cheek-swab kit couriered to a Vancouver address for personal-knowledge testing only

Why Vancouver clients request testing

  • Paternity testing for personal certainty or for a family law file
  • Immigration DNA testing supporting family sponsorship applications
  • Sibling, grandparent and extended-family relationship testing
  • A home cheek-swab kit is personal-knowledge testing only and cannot be used for legal, court or immigration purposes.
  • Coordinated collection availability, cost and timing vary by location and are confirmed in writing before you book.
