Hi suhail. Congrats again.

Can u help me understand what happened after cic emailed u requesting for dna test?

So i understand they sent u an email right and gave u a list of accredicated centers? So what was exactly the process?

1. How did you pay for the test?

2. After payment was made, Did cic sent the dna kit to your father in canada or did u advise him to visit one of the accredited testing centers in canada?

3. How about yours and your mothers dna kit? Did cic send the kit to the embassy to where u live? Ànd did embassy officers facilitate it?

4. Did the embassy sent the dna samples to cic directly?

I have gone through part of the process and Suhail might be busy so I'll provide how ours was carried out.


So i understand they sent u an email right and gave u a list of accredicated centers? So what was exactly the process?

After the request for DNA via email and the list of accredited DNA centers are provided on the 6th Dec., 2018 ; my husband contacted Genetrack Biolabs and forward the letter from CIC to them.

1. How did you pay for the test?

It was paid with credit card

2. After payment was made, Did cic sent the dna kit to your father in canada or did u advise him to visit one of the accredited testing centers in canada?

After payments were made, within a day we received schedule for my husband DNA sample collection . He visited a lab in Mississauga as specified by Genetrack.

3. How about yours and your mothers dna kit? Did cic send the kit to the embassy to where u live? Ànd did embassy officers facilitate it?

We live in St Lucia and there's no Canadian representative here . The lab would have send our kit and a request for a date from Trinidad. After waiting from the 12th December to the 23rd Jan., we finally got a date for the 22nd Feb., 2019.
We travelled to Trinidad and the sample collection was done at the High Commission by a lab personal and an immigration officer to oversee the process.

4. Did the embassy sent the dna samples to cic directly?

The High Commission send the samples to Genetrack and it was recieved on the 25th Feb., 2019.
On the 27th Feb., 2019 we received the results and same was submitted by Genetrack to CIC. Results show a he is the biological father and the probability is greater than 99.999999%.

Sushail please confirm it was the same steps with your process.


Now I guess is to wait for to see status changes to DM. Sushail had DM just over a week so I'm keeping my finger crossed.
