Getting into Canada is not a problem. I took care of that for my current job and have been in and out with no problems for the last 2 years.

I want to stress again that I never had intentions of lying or trying to hide this. It honestly had not been asked yet. I just wanted to get a feel for how the rest of the process was going to be.. more to calm my nerves (if possible).

Talked to my recruiter and we cleared everything with HR. For anyone asking in the future, 5 years and under is a hard no. 6-10 years is a case by case basis. Fortunately, I haven't even had a traffic ticket since then and my court documents back up the info I gave them (.053 BAC with no accident or injury of any kind).

There is never an excuse to drive after drinking, but I'm glad to know that not everyone will hold that mistake against someone forever.

Thanks for the support and kind words!
