  • Not usualy. It doesn't matter where the DUI was, it's called impaired driving in Canada and a criminal charge. It's generally 10 years before being forgiven by Canada but you can apply for a permit to enter and be considered rehabilitated before then. There is a fee as well.
  • A person found guilty of drinking and driving can apply for a temporary resident permit. Issued at the discretion of immigration authorities, the permit is valid up to three years. It can authorize single or multiple entries. The fee is $200 Cdn. Once five years have passed from the completion of any sentence imposed for the offence, including any driving suspension, a person with a drinking and driving conviction may overcome inadmissibility upon receiving approval of rehabilitation from an authorized immigration official. Persons not yet eligible for approval of rehabilitation could be granted a temporary resident permit. http://www.defencelaw.com/impaired-immigration.html http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/faq-inadmissibility.asp
