Subject: asylum... maybe? Or an immigrant visa?
  My boyfriend(32) and I(35) are both HIV+. We?ve been in a gay-relationship for quite some time now. The region that we live in (South-East Europe) does not recognize gay rights, gay-relationships (not to mention a gay-marriage), plus HIV positive persons are being discriminated on every possible field. We are wondering if it´s possible to seek asylum based on these facts. What are our chances? If not seeking the asylum, then the chances for an immigrant visa with the HIV+ status?
Thank you all in advance.

Mike, keep the sermons to yourself. Your comments are hateful. If you are not prepared to accept gay rights, what on earth are you coming to Canada for?

B.V. - your health status is going to create some problems because of its potential strain on the Canadian Health system. I understand HIV is a different disease than it was 10 years ago but there are still significant costs to keeping you healthy.

Roy may have other advice but I would be inclined to give it a try. The worst that can happen is a no response which is the same as not trying at all.
