if, as you say, you got arrested in college then you got arrested. The fact that you got it expunged is all to the good, but if you tell a future aviation employer that you didn’t get arrested when you in fact did, and they find out about it, they are very likely to fire you immediately - for cause. And that you won’t be able to get expunged, it will dog you from there on...

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.

I did rear end another car, but no injury and very minor property damage.
What do you think my chances would be?

With Canada, if it's been five years and you pay the (hefty) fee, odds are very high that you'll get your "rehabilitation". Then you can reasonably get hired at any regional. It's possible that some regionals may be desperate enough to hire you and just keep you off CA trips, but that's a real hard-spot with a seniority system so I kind of doubt it. Some WILL allow you to keep your job if you get a DUI while already employed, but I doubt many want to hire someone who cannot enter CA.
You'd definitely need to be rehabed for any major job I would think. Plus you'll have an uphill (but not insurmountable) battle just with the DUI history.
If you don't/can't get rehabilitated, you'd have to look for a regional which does not fly to canada, which is going to be only a handful, probably like Silver down in south FL.

We're going to see it and it's unnecessary and annoying.
