Answer 2

You mean HIV?

It seems that they make decisions individually.  The main reason HIV+ people get refused is if they are seen to be causing "excessive demand" on the health care system.

Answer 3

If you are HIV positive, you may or may not be rejected as a permanent immigrant. That depends on whether Health Canada considers HIV a contagious disease that poses a risk to other Canadians. See the link below. You would have to pass a medical exam to immigrate here.

On the other hand, as a tourist or student who is returning home after their visit or studies are over, you would not even need a medical exam if you are going to be in Canada less than six months. That information is shown on the Canada Immigration website as well, just use the link.
