Dear Members,
Hope all are fine.
I need some urgent help/suggestion from the members.
I have already sent passports of mine, my spouse & my new born baby and I was waiting for our passports to be returned with VISA. But I am surprised to receive an e-mail from SGVO requesting for DNA test to prove that we are the true parents of our new born baby though i have already provided desired docs (Birth Certificate & Passport) for my new born. His medical has also been done. The letter is as below:
Dear Applicant
This refers to your application for permanent residence in Canada.
After reviewing the information provided in support of your application, I am not satisfied that
there is sufficient evidence to prove the parent-child relationship between you and xxx.
Since the documentary evidence you have provided does not enable us to establish parentage
between you and the child, we will accept the results of a DNA analysis carried out by a laboratory
accredited by the Standard Council of Canada for DNA testing. You should be aware that you are
responsible for the costs of sample taking, shipping, laboratory analysis, and report submission.
To proceed with your application and the DNA test process, you are responsible for choosing a
laboratory in Canada. The enclosed list of laboratories has been accredited by the Standards
Council of Canada (SCC) for DNA testing.
Once you decide to undergo the DNA testing, the laboratory chosen will then send us a letter
informing us that you are prepared to undertake the testing. At the same time, please send us two
recent passport-sized photos of the individuals to be tested (photograph specifications is enclosed).
Upon receipt of this letter and passport-sized photos, we will then contact you with a date for
sample collection at an approved collection site. We will also inform you of the requirements, such
as valid passport, identification card, two passport-size photos, and fees for the sample collection
procedure and courier to send each sample to Canada. Please note that it is important for you to
have these identification documents before we can proceed with the sample collection.
The results of the DNA tests will be sent to us by the laboratory when they have been completed.
If the tests confirm the relationship between you and xxx, we will be in a
position to proceed with the processing of your application or issue new medical instructions if
your present medical results have expired by that time.
DNA tests are not mandatory:
If we are not advised within 30 days by a laboratory that you will be proceeding with the DNA
testing, we will assume that you are no longer interested in providing a DNA test result and will
render a decision based on the information available to us at that time.
Sincerely
Immigration Officer
Need your valuable suggestions!!!
