Registration under the Indian Act is based on parentage and the degree of descent from ancestors who are registered or entitled to be registered; however, there may be situations where the identity of a parent, grandparent or other ancestor is unknown or unstated.
Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) accepts DNA testing to demonstrate a biological relation if one of your parents is not listed on your proof of birth document but is registered or entitled.
Wfg is approved by ISC to provide this DNA testing and can assist you in choosing how to go about genetic testing to provide the strongest evidence for your application.
