my family wants to move to alaska but we heard that you're not allowed to go to canada once you have a dui on your record because it's considered a felony there.

If you have a DUI on your record and want to enter Canada, you'll have to fill out an application for a Temporary Resident Permit and submit it to the Consulate General of Canada. If more than 10 years have passed since you've completed your sentence, you can apply for an Approval of Rehabilitation, which if approved will give you permanent access to Canada.
There is a $200 fee and it can take up to 6 months for your application to be processed.

No. It's the same situation if a Canadian with a DUI wanted to travel to Mexico. He'd have to go through the USA unless he flew on a direct charter flight. You can bet your booties they'd stop the Canuck at the border.
We do the same here in Canada. We'll stop you at the border if you are on the database for DUI offences.

It is considered a felony. If you want to go to Canada you have to tell them about the DUI. They will make you fill out some paperwork. They can still refuse admission into the country but they might let you in.

You will need a visa to go through Canada under those circumstances, but that doesn't mean you can't go there.

This happened to my Step-son. He had to spend the night on the U.S. side waiting for his paperwork to be sent. They can still refuse entry though.

don't drive through canada, go around it, oh wait, since you are going from the US to the US it doesn't matter.
