DUI and Canada
I wonder if anyone here has trips through Canada with a criminal record and how did you handle it?
Did you apply for TRP or Criminal rehabilitation and what are the timelines and costs?
Thanks,
Frequent flier

Yes you have to complete a waiting period (5 years after conviction/prison IIRC) and then apply for "rehabilitation" (ie pay a hefty bribe).
Without that you're pretty much no-go for travel to Canada, which means no-go to get hired at most operators who fly there (if you're already employed, they'll *typically* just let you avoid CA trips if prctical, although termination is certainly legal in this situation).
I'd talk to your nearest CA consulate, they would be the best source. Or maybe a lawyer, but I'm not sure you really need to spend that coin to complete an administrative process.

It’s true about not being technically eligible for admission into Canada wirh the DUI issue. I’m not sure why the US even shares this with Canada btw. What’s not true is that you won’t get hired by someone because a DUI prohibits entry into Canada. You won’t get hired because you have a DUI, not because you can’t get into Canada. I’ve been to every continent except Antarctica. Over 80 countries. The worst entry experiences and most thorough interrogations and searches have been into Canada. It’s like they go out of their way. I’ve had a car muffler cut open and an invasive body search. They’re awful.

I think sharing data is pretty much required. Any country can apply their standards on accepting passports and require the data to support an individual’s request to enter. The US shares the data because cooperating with Canada on millions of crossings is more valuable than the few restricted by Canada’s DUI laws. Don’t get one and going to Canada is easy—done in countless times and easier than US entry.

I just got to Canadia. They couldn’t wrap their heads around that I am DH crew into Canada and not taking their jobs. And to think, I could give up 250k+ a year with no state income tax, a view of the Atlantic and 300+ days of 70 degree weather and sun and move to Canada. They(she) was hostile and combative, SOP for Canada.
