Travel Info the boarder or can they not enter at all. We will be in Calgery for 5 days Travel Tips DUI Charges and Other Issues Our Canadian Immigration and Visitor regulations restrict persons with convictions that would be considered criminal charges in Canada to enter Canada. If you have had a DUI (driving under the influence) charge against you, any time in the near or far past, and if it shows up on your records in the US (which can be accessed by our Customs & Immigration officers through co-operative agreements between the US and Canada) then you may be denied entry to Canada. Random checks are common. A one-time application can be made at the Canadian border for approximately $200 Cdn., taking up to 4 hours to complete, or a permanent application for visitor entry can be made through the Canadian Embassies in the US for a lesser amount ($35 Cdn.); however, this process can take up to 16 months. Some visitors with such convictions have been successful by pre-arranging their border crossing application and carrying letters from their home police force, clergy, etc. indicating their compliance with the rules over the past few years (at least 5 years). We suggest you communicate with a Canadian Immigration office prior to your planned trip if you have such a past charge. Source(s): http://www.liddles.com/374.html... Other Travel Tips Um, I wasn't aware they checked police records at the Canadian border. When I went they didn't even ask for my id Modified 11 months ago We went to Canada last summer and getting in was a breeze - it was getting BACK into America where they asked a lot of questions. They will look at all criminal records. If they check, and they might, I don't believe they would deny entry for this. |
