I'm Hiv Positive, Can I Immigrate To Canada? by lisak7(f): 1:43am On Oct 11, 2017 |
I'm hiv positive and I'm planning on moving to Canada although I haven't started the process yet. Though I didn't go to the university, I'm quite educated and have a handwork as a cake baker and designer, I also make pastries. But due to my health status I cannot get a job here in Nigeria. What are my chances of getting a Canadian employment visa and will I be refused due to my condition? 1 Like |

Here's what i curled up as it pertains to being HIV positive and emigrating to Canada: 1.1 Medical examination All applicants for permanent residency in Canada over 15 years of age are required to undergo an immigration medical examination, including an HIV test. A positive HIV test result can make it difficult for a person to immigrate permanently to Canada. Essentially, while Canadian laws and policies don’t mention HIV specifically, they do allow for an application to be refused on the grounds of medical inadmissibility. The refusal of permanent residency on medical grounds can be justified by one of the following two criteria: The person’s health condition is deemed to represent “a danger to the health or safety of the public.” However, immigration authorities no longer apply this designation to people living with HIV.1 The person is determined to represent “excessive demands on health or social services” in Canada. This consideration of the risk of “excessive demand” doesn’t apply in the following circumstances: If you’ve applied as a refugee. If you have been sponsored as the spouse or dependent child of a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. Consequently, in those two situations, being HIV positive would not be an obstacle to your application for permanent residency. However, you would have to sign a document authorizing immigration authorities to inform your sponsor and/or partner living in Canada of your HIV positive status. If you refused to disclose to your sponsor and/or partner living in Canada, you would then be required to withdraw your request for permanent residency.
