Difficult to tell if you're asking a question or just expressing your mind. I assume it is both.
Answer: send a case specific enquiry to your VO.
My question: Why did you decide to carry out the DNA just for your last son and not the 2 others ? This seems to be a BIG RED FLAG.
Hopefully u will get a positive response from your VO soon.

@turbir2000,it's a family issue,but when I went to d Canadian embassy to undertake d DNA they did not bother asking me about my remains dependents and my lawyer already told me if am not asked anything I should not bother saying anything and Accra Ghana collected the result since June but not a response from them.my husband sent them a mail asking what's happening to his application no reply I also sent them an enquiry no response.my lawyer said if dey are not responding dat means it is withing d processing time and dats a good sigh

I'm certainly not the most knowledgeable person on this forum by any means but
if they asked specifically for all dependents DNA and you have not provided all,
I do not think they can/or will proceed until you have provided this.
Someone might know more as to how the outcome if they do proceed will be affected.

I agree.
Also I think you the OP don't send everything that the VO requested until the deadline, they will refuse the application.

I dnt think so because myself and one of my dependents, with my hubby who is d sponsor went for the DNA and d result came out positive, so they have no cause to refuse my application

If they asked for DNA tests for all 3 dependents but you've only provided the test for one dependent, then you can expect your app to be refused.

Fingers crossed,am hoping for the best.i know am gonna hear good news

The positive test result of the DNA test for the one you had tested only shows
that you and your spouse are the biological parents of THAT child, there is no
inference that any other children you might have are also biologically related to both
of you. That would be a big leap to assume just because one is, then they all must be.

I think you need to send the DNA for the others as soon as possible , so your application does not fail.

Agreed. It is not unheard of for some extra "dependants" to be included in an application for relatives or friends. The fact that the OP claims "it's a family issue" raises an enormous "Red Flag" because if they were their children, no one else should be involved.

Alright I see, but did u explain to your VO why the DNA test wasn't done for the 2 other dependents ? By not doing it simply because your lawyer told you not to, except you were being asked at the embassy seems cyrstal clear that you are concealing some vital information. Furthermore, is it mandatory for applicants from Nigeria to provide DNA test for their dependents? If not, it means if you were asked to perform DNA tests, likely the immigration officer wasn't convinced that both of you were the biological parents.....hence you have proven this by failing to provide DNA results for all dependants.
Two possibilities:
Best case scenario: You are asked again to provide DNA tests for the other dependents...which is less likely, given their instructions were very clear.

Worst case scenario: which is more likely from the available facts, your application is rejected for misrepresentation.

Regarding the medical, you will be informed if you need to redo it if necessary.

It is a virtue to be optimistic, but not when you have set the ball rolling in the wrong direction yourself.

Good luck !!!

No, it's not mandatory for everyone. DNA tests are for those who CIC suspects are trying to fraudulently add someone else's children as dependents.

From http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/resources/manuals/op/op01-eng.pdf

5.9. DNA test for relationship Citizenship and Immigration Canada (CIC) accepts DNA test results as proof of parent/child and sibling relationships. The test compares DNA profiles extracted from genetic material taken from persons claiming to be father, mother, children or siblings.

5.10. When is a DNA test appropriate? A DNA test to prove relationship is a last resort. When documentary submissions are not satisfactory evidence of a bona fide relationship, officers may advise applicants that positive results of DNA tests by a laboratory listed in Appendix E are an acceptable substitute for documents.

5.11. DNA results In a standard, direct paternity or maternity test involving an alleged parent/child relationship, the DNA companies listed in Appendix E are to provide test results that are at least 99.8% certain. Paternity test results below this level are not acceptable. If a DNA test result is presented as evidence of a relationship, officers must ensure the integrity of the testing procedure. As this test is offered in cases in which there are already doubts about claimed relationships, any possibility of fraud must be eliminated. For more information, see:  DNA tests, section 13;  Procedures for DNA testing, section 14.

http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/pdf/kits/guides/3912e.pdf which are the country specific instructions for you also make clear that there may be a DNA test required.

Your application appears to already be at risk and your naive response is likely to make things much more difficult for you.
