[QUOTE="Narcs, post: 204314, member: 542"] Crank - my dad had a DWUI back in the late 1980's and went through the application process about 10 years ago so he could be deemed "rehabilitated" and enter Canada. I helped him with the paperwork. Ridiculous, but not that bad. Here's the basics when we did it: 1) Reach out to a Canadian Consulate and ask for the paperwork (you might be able to find the documents on-line) 2) Reach out to the Court where your conviction was filed and ask for notarized documents proving that you satisfied all requirements of the sentence. If some type of "counseling" class was required, you might have to get additional documents confirming you completed the "therapy" 3) Gather said documents, as well as anything else outlined in the application (there could be something else I'm not recalling) and mail them off. You'll have to include a check too, I think it was about 200 bucks - probably more now. 4) Patiently wait. If believe the turnaround was 3-4 months. 5) When approved, they mail you some documents outlining you've been "rehabilitated" and you carry these with you next time you travel north. We have since crossed the border a number of times without any problems. Two caveats: 1) I think there was a time limitation e.g. the conviction has to be more than 10 or 15 years in the past before they'll consider the application. Again, probably easy to find this on-line and I'm sure the application spells it out for you. 2) This was ten years ago, maybe the process has changed a little bit. I can't say for certain. It was a mild pain in the ar$$, but worth it if you want to fish or hunt up north in the future. Good luck. . . . [/QUOTE]
