DNA TEST REQUESTED TO PROVE CHILD , PARENT RELATIONSHIP

[ify1132]

Dear Friends,

After a very long wait , I got  an Email from CIC today stating that they are not satisfied with the documents i submitted  as prove that my wife and i are the true biological parents of my first son . He was born 1998 ,but his birth was registered 2007 and i got international passport for him in 2005 . I am from Africa , and in my country things are not really organize as it is in western world . We don't really go for those important documents uless when we need it and government does not really press for that . my second son is a canadian citizen , he was born in nova scotia . my first son was born out of wedluck , my wife was still in school then when she got pregnant for me.
However, CIC gave me an option of providing a DNA test to prove that we are the Biological parent , the test will be done in canada but the samples will be collected were they direct us to go , and they will follow it up . Is it necessary telling cic about the circustances of my son's birth since they have requested fo a DNA test ?. secondly , i intend to respond to their mail , by thanking them and  telling them that i received their it  , and i am ready for the DNA test . Anybody had this experience before ? seniors please advice. They also gave me 90 days to provide it , and they stated that they will arrange for me to submit another medicals if the one i submitted expiry during the process of DNA test.

Thanks

1. Not Necessary. They didn't ask u - so why to take an unnecessary initiative?
2. Yes, send that mail - it'd be a wise gesture.

Birth certificate are issued either by the hospital authority where new born baby are born,or by your local government.You should accept maybe then, that you were not informed.  Everyone knows that it is mandatory for every parents to request/obtain birth certificate for their new born baby. Your post here about the nigerian authority in regard to Birth registration is very outrageous and non-acumen. Your negligence has now catched-up with you. Blame yourself please not the authority. Go for the DNA and if comes positive, then you are a free man>>>>>>>.

IFY, i totally disagree with you comments about Nigeria.Things like this makes Nigeria appear as a backward society. As old as i am,my birth was registered in Nigeria when i was born. During my growing up days in everything i did my birth certificate has always been requested for. I begin to wonder what part of Nigeria you are from and how well you are atuned to events in your fatherland.

The good thing is that you are the biological father,so no need to worry.As Qurax suggested, why provide them with the details of how your child was concieved when they never asked for it and it is not really their business to know. Please send the supposed email confirming you are ready to take the test at any place of their choosing. God help you and your family will laugh soon.

 @ Ify, did you not provide the birth certificates?

 @  Ify, did you not provide the birth certificates?

Yes he did, but a birth certificate registered after 9 years of brith of birth.

If the test is failed what will happen?

[fernendez]

Awoderu, i am sure we all know what will happen if they fail DNA test. From all indications, IFY is the biological father so no need to worry.As regards your own case, i don't think you need to worry as well except you are not the biological father!!

Good one Seglad. Honestly, I was so ashamed and disappointed after reading that poorly presented tale from a Naija man. That part about the Nigerian authority with regards to birth registration, was an absolute bunkum. It is even common to find National Population Commission agents all over the health centres(where babies are freely given initial immunizations) in all local government council areas here in Nigeria, and it is infact our civic responsibility to register our children at birth. The government has adequately provided centres for birth registration, but our friend chose to wait for DNA sometime in the future. What a cheap price to pay for  negligence/ignorance!!!!

Is it in all cases where they observe such year difference in the registration date that they request for DNA or just based on the VIsa officer's Judgement?

I never said "If he fails the test" i said "if the test is failed." Sir, plz do read comments properly before commenting. I was referring to an event in which of an individual fails the testing and not referring to Sir Ify so we are all clear of the consequence before taking the leap
