It’s typically ten years for them to overlook felonious convictions but can be zero years if you can convince them to issue you a waiver. Have you made contact with the Canadian consulate yet? If not I would get the ball rolling ASAP.

Please only comment if you know someone in a similar situation.

Does the airline hire you and just assign you to non-Canada routes or simply not hire?

You can apply for criminal rehabilitation at any Canadian Consulate whenever you want. You’ll have a greater chance of success if five years have passed since your restrictions concluded (probation can count too). Even if fifty years have passed, at any moment they can deny you entry.
What are the circumstances of your DUI conviction? Did it involved a collision or injuries or destruction of property? Are you a habitual alcohol user with prior issues? Have you had any other criminal convictions or even speeding tickets? They will want to know everything and then make a reasonable decision based on the totality of circumstances.
Too bad it’s not the other way for you. The US issues inadmissibility waivers frequently to anyone including murderers, rapists, and even terrorists. They need not wait even six months. The decision is made by a work group in VA now.
