Default DUI and Canadian Clearance
Sort of a follow up on another thread but what is the process for obtaining a clearance from the Canadian gov't with a DUI. In my state DUI is a class W misdemeanor, not a B or C like it is in most states. Does this matter? Would a lawyer help out in this process? Comments from anybody who knows would help.

Thx

You're dealing with canadian law not your state law. I'd get the waivers and be on the safe side...

Is it just me or are there a lot of people out there with drinking / driving issues?

You know, I don't get that. Why won't the hosers let people in who have DUIs? Like Canadians never get DUIs. Any hosers on here who can shed some light?

I don't know, but I seem to fly with a lot of guys who have those waivers. Try the consulate...

Are you for real? Are people that irresponsible? Maybe they just like negative attention.

Yeah, I was a little surprised too...people don't normally tell you that they had a DUI, but when you arrive in canada it becomes obvious

Most of them got their DUI while at the regional...which means that they are probably staying at the regional.

this could be completely wrong....but somebody told me that DUI was a felony charge in Canada.....and for that reason they wont let you in.

So what happens? Extra 'attention' going thru customs? Whats the deal - they have to show paperwork to get in besides their passport?
