Therefore, will a convict be able to get a passport to go into Canada from the US? Will a convicted felon be able to travel to Alaska from the lower 48

Sorry......Canada only allows draft dodgers and AWOL soldiers, no criminals.

It depends on the crime.
I have a joyriding conviction here in the U.S.A. at age 18, but according to Canada, I was a minor by Canadian law of 21.
Mine was not classified as a violent crime, though I was convicted of a felony and served 18 months in prison.
I drove otr for 18 years, and was allowed into Canada without even needing a Ministers permit.
It all depends on the felony class, and the extent of severity.
I am in my 40's now, and can still go into Canada.
Alaska is part of the United States and therefore legal to enter as well.

I am 45 years old when I was 20 years old I was convicted of a felony in the state of California, at the age of 35 I flew to Vancouver where both my older Brothers live and where I grew up as a landed Immigrant. until at the age of 15 I moved back to the states. I did not even make it out of the Vancouver international airport. I was held in the customs jail at the airport until the following day when I was then placed on a flight back to California.
If you are going to Alaska you may want to think about flying over Canada instead of trying to drive across the country. I admit you will miss seeing a beautiful part of the world, but at least you will be sure to make it to your final destination. good luck

Some of our best citizens are convicted felons. Martha Stewart got in. I don't know how they can forbid anyone else.
Criminal Record
Anyone with a criminal record (including a drunk driving conviction) may be excluded from Canada. A waiver of exclusion may be issued but several weeks are required and a processing fee must be paid. Contact the Canadian Embassy or a Canadian Consulate in the U.S. or use the link below for more information.
