Reasons To Complete an Immigration DNA Test
Immigration DNA testing is often used to establish paternity between a child and the sponsor living in Canada. This type of test can be useful when the child’s birth certificate does not list the father, or changes were made to the birth certificate after the birth of the child or when there is no other way to establish paternity.
Immigration DNA testing can also be used to confirm a family relationship between relatives who are applying for immigration to Canada. In some cases, Immigration DNA testing may be required by the Canadian government in order to approve an application for immigration. The results of an Immigration DNA test can help to establish identity, and citizenship.
Immigration DNA testing is a simple and effective way to obtain the information needed to complete important steps for immigration to Canada.
- Paternity DNA tests between a sponsor living in Canada and an international child
- Sibling DNA tests to determine if siblings are full or half-siblings
