How to get into Canada from US with a DUI?
My friend had expunged DUI < 5 years ago and they turned him away at the border because he had DUI even though it was expunged from the record.
I have a DUI from 10 years ago and wonder if that also bars me from going to Canada. If so how can I get over there to good old Canada for vacation?
Expungement doesn't necessarily mean that a record "disappears" altogether-what it means is that the record is no longer "publicly viewable"-which means that people like potential employers probably wouldn't find any record of the offense if they did a background check on a new job applicant.Generally expunged records are still available to law enforcement.
..Since 10 years have passed since your DUI you may fall under what's called "deemed rehabilitation"-that means that if you haven't had any more charges brought against you since then you MAY be considered "rehabilitated" and allowed to enter Canada with no issues.There is no "blanket rule " on this and each case is judged individually-the best thing to do is contact the nearest Canadian Consulate for clarification.(Read the link below from the Citizenship & Immigration Canada for more info...)
