Questions

Questions before you order

A few practical answers to help you understand the process before you order. See our full FAQ for more.

Legal and immigration professionals reviewing documents with a client

KINORA GENETICS works with professional DNA testing laboratories to perform sample analysis and testing. Our team manages the client case, testing coordination, sample collection process and overall case workflow, while qualified laboratory professionals conduct the laboratory analysis and reporting.

After you place an order, KINORA confirms your case details and selected collection method. Depending on your order, a DNA collection kit may be shipped to you, or a collection appointment may be arranged. Once samples are collected, they are sent for laboratory analysis. When testing is complete, your results are provided through the applicable KINORA delivery process.

KINORA offers several collection options, including collection at the Richmond centre, mobile DNA collection, and mail-in collection kits. The appropriate option depends on your location, the type of test, and whether the test requires a formal collection procedure. Legal and immigration testing may have specific collection requirements.

Yes. Depending on your location and the type of test, KINORA may be able to coordinate DNA collection outside the Richmond centre, including mobile collection and other coordinated collection options. Availability depends on the location and case requirements.

Turnaround time depends on the type of test, laboratory processing, sample quality, and whether any additional procedures are required. The expected timeframe can vary by test. If a specific estimated turnaround time applies to your test, it will be provided with the applicable test information.

Legal and immigration DNA testing may require identity verification, documented sample collection, chain of custody, and other procedures. KINORA can coordinate testing according to the requirements of the relevant case or authority. However, final acceptance of a DNA report is determined by the court, immigration authority, government agency, or other organization receiving the report.
