Crossing Canadian border with US DUI by plane?

Question

How they run check? Do they check by US ID number? What if won't show them one, only passport? Did anyone had the same situation and crossed successfully? The conviction happened recently.

Answer 1

Check with your local travel agent or travel bureau. There was a case here where a man from the USA was turned away for a DUI 23 years ago. Because you have to prove your identity in order to come to Canada, they will check you that way.

Accoding to these sites, you can/will be turned away with a DUI at the border.
"Inadmissible Entry into Canada
The Canadian Government has determined certain individuals are inadmissible to Canada. These individuals are not allowed to enter Canada or remain inside the Canadian borders. Members of Inadmissible Classes include those who have been convicted of certain criminal offenses. Some minor offenses include, but are not limited to:

• Shoplifting
• Theft
• Assault
• Unauthorized possession of a firearm
• Possession of illegal substances

Those with felony convictions are not permitted entry into Canada either.
The Canadian Government views driving under the influence of intoxicants as an extremely serious offense. Those convicted of DUI or DWI are included in the Inadmissible Class. Those convicted of DUI or DWI will not be permitted to enter Canada. "

The US travel site also says:
Driving while impaired (DWI) is a serious offense in Canada. Penalties are heavy, and any prior conviction (no matter how long ago or how minor the infraction) is grounds for exclusion from Canada. Americans with a DWI record must seek a waiver of exclusion from Canadian consulates in the United States, which requires several weeks to process.

Answer 2

The previous answer (which is to say, they have ground for not letting you in) is accurate. It doesn't mean they won't, but they do have a choice.

Since passports, birth/death records (in most instances, at least), driver's licences, marriage/divorce records, and criminal records are all interconnected via central databases, it doesn't matter which form of identification you use.

Since you're going by plane, the ONLY choice you have is a passport, by the way! A scan of a passport WILL produce all associated convictions with the named individual, regardless of country (meaning Canada, US, and Mexico - not necessarily European or Asian).

Answer 3

I have had twin for decades now, I have under no circumstances had them inquire from me those forms of questions. even although i have under no circumstances had a previous some thing interior the category of a DUI! So i'd both call the guards or locate out in the experience that they could attraction it.

Answer 4

As long as your not driving it probably is not a problem. They may or may not ask while going through customs.
