I'd call immigration at the English and Swiss consulates muy pronto!

- Thank you for your response. I asked my attorney to find out but his secretary said they 'dont do international". I will have to figure out who to call on my own.

- You're welcome. Where I told you would be a good start. Look on the Embassy websites to get location and contact information on nearest consultates. You might also see if there's a "special (honorary) counsel" in your area. He/she might be able to grease the skids. If it's a job related trip you might want to look for a GOOD imigration/governmental affairs attorney. Were are you located?

i hope so, go do your time. DUIs should be treated with harsher penilties, in the US. 1st time DUIs usally get knocked down with no jail time. If you were to hit anyone it would of been a big mess.

- They dont get knocked down anymore-and I paid my dues. Thanks for your opinion.

I don't think so. I believe that is a Canada thing. I know about five people that has happened to in Canada, but nowhere else.

- canada has a thing for felons too.

- I can understand fellons but are you saying that if you've got a DWI they won't let you in the country? What if you beat it?

- you don’t believe in 2nd chances? ... felon or not, who cares what i did 20-30 years ago.... if that’s the case, then no criminal, felony or misdemeanor should get a chance to visit Canada.

- Who said anything about no second chances-it's a dicy issue. In Texas the average murderer serves less that six years-so that might be part of the equation-it's a lot different than a misdemeanor littering charge.

- They will let you in if you beat it or if it was dismissed. Canada will let you in 5 years after the offense or 5 years after the punishment is done being served(I can't remember which.) My friend who this happened to in March was told to come back in 5 years. So if you did something 30 years ago it won't matter.
