Imigrating to Canada as same *censored word* spouse with HIV

[newmontreal]

This is a question my future husband and i been going crazy about. We know each other for over one year and have been together for almost one year. In febuary we planned to get married. About 70 people including family from germany will attend. In summer i contracted HIV from my partner and he thinks there is no way i will be admitted to Canada. Also he does not make a lot of money, but i have my own income from the USA which is not to little. What is the answer?

Unfortunately your partner may be right.

Part of the immigration process is to submit to a full medical examination. Anyone deemed to have health problems that would represent a danger to public health or safety or an excessive demand on the Canadian Health Care system could potentially be denied PR status.

HIV would definately represent a potential strain on the Canadian Health Care system and a danger to public health.

WEll if so than the candian goverment would prevent a person who is married to a citizen to be with him. Which in a country where same *censored word* marriage is legal? It doesn't make sense. ANd i would not use the canadian healthcare system, i have my own insurance to pay

When you go for your medical, they will test you for HIV and also determine what your medical needs will be.  Since it is still early in the infection, you stand an ok chance that they will say you're not yet going to be a burdon on the medical system.

If you're going to apply, I suggest you don't wait until symptoms start to appear.
