Can a person with a DUI record enter Canada?

You cannont, as long as it is on your record. If you try to cross before the 10 years are up (time DUI is on your record), Canada notes that you tried to come into Canada and turns you around, and informs you that if you try to come back in before the time is up you will be arrested. How long does Canada keep you out? The duration of the time the DUI is on your record PLUS the probation time. 13 years. You can apply for as a temporary resident or citizen, and get in.
