What it means when an immigration application asks for DNA evidence of a family relationship.
A typical scenario
A sponsor in British Columbia receives a letter asking for DNA evidence of a relationship with a family member abroad.
How it differs from a personal test
Immigration DNA testing typically involves identity verification, professional collection, documentation and chain of custody at every location.
What to do first
Share the request letter with a coordinator before booking anything, and do not arrange collection independently.
Who decides
The immigration authority makes the final decision about the evidence. No provider can guarantee an outcome.
