Can you teach English abroad if you have a DWI on your record?

I'm researching this myself. I contacted the Japanese consulate and they are a definite NO. It must be completely expunged (which is impossible in US now, it's on record for life and thus with the FBI for consulates checking abroad). I know Japan is a major employer for teaching English, but I'm trying to find other countries. Post here if you find any that will take you on a work visa, b/c I don't know either. You must ask the actual consulate of that country to be sure. I know you can't even visit Canada with a DWI (and vice versa for the US from Canada). It sucks.
