Dear Rupinder

What do you mean?? are you a HIV+ person? Canada will not allow a person who is HIV+ for sure.

I believe as long your brother is "excessive demand exempt" (which he should be if is a family class immigrant) he is not automatically excluded for being hiv+

check out the instructions in the Designated Medical Practioner´s Handbook:

"6.4 HIV infection is not of itself considered a significant public health risk in Canada. However, the behaviour of an HIV-infected individual may present a threat to public health and safety if the applicant does not understand the condition and the steps that are necessary to prevent its spread. This is why post-test counselling is so fundamental to the management of HIV-infected individuals. Counselling ensures that the applicant is aware of the condition and can take the measures necessary to prevent or minimize the spread of the virus. This counselling also permits the physician to identify those rare applicants who may actually state that their intention is to infect others with HIV. The counselling DMP must ensure that the applicant signs the Acknowledgement of HIV Post-Test Counselling."

There´s a good chance things will be OK.

don´t want to discourage you, but there will also be a concern about the long term demand on the Canadian health system. It is not just the public risk of the desease.

sharon (and others)

family class applicants are excessive demand exempt. they cannot be excluded for medical reasons just because they have a condition that will require medical treatment, even extensive medical treatment. they can only be excluded if their medical condition poses a danger to the public health.

skilled worker class applicants can be excluded for both risk to the public and excessive demand.

look it up.
