Put your paperwork in then sit down and have a few drinks and calm down.

 

Most airlines, if not all, will not hire you if you are unable to travel freely to all locations served. If you’re not allowed in Canada still then you likely are unhireable until that is resolved.

 

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.

 

There is a list of people that can't and will not be used for Canada flying. There are a couple of easons why someone can't go to Canada.

 

I was hoping to hear from people in different airlines.

 

This is the most positive thing I've seen. Can you tell me more? What do I need to do, call the consulate or something? Please give me some details.

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.

Careful. Some arrests will show up on the FBI database. And they probably will not be expunged from that... it's a national security system, not a public record. DUIs do show up there.
