Section 5.20 below."
5.20
"A38(2)(a) states that spouses, common-law partners and dependent children who are members of the family class are not inadmissible even if they have a medical condition that will result in excessive demand to health or social services.

yeah it s right...



being sponsored and being hiv positive is not a factor that can stop the possibility to be PR

HIV alone does not preclude family class applications.

It depends which category your relative is applying under.

Contrary to what some people think, HIV is not considered a danger to public health and safety.

The only issue is excessive demand on the medical system.

However, if your relative is either the SPOUSE or DEPENDENT CHILD being sponsored by his/her parents, then  excessive demand rules DO NOT apply so your relative can still get PR status.

If he/she is being sponsored by someone other than her spouse or parents then excessive demand rules DO apply and he/she may  not be eligible for PR.

I would suggest that you read this document on HIV and Canada Immigration for more information: http://www.hivimmigration.ca/Publications/FAQ%20on%20HIV%20Immigration%202005.pdf
