I myself have a dui, i am also curious. I have heard there is a form you have to fill out and pay a fee, and has to be done in person. I have three friends that have been turned away, two ice fishing, one in his semi. But i think child molesters can get in.
It seems all the stories of people being turned away are people driving across the border in a car. I have yet to hear of anyone turned away who was flying in
Thanks, but that trip advisor post was locked on Nov 2016. The new law I am referencing took effect in 2018
Sorry, disregard that then. I am no help.
It was a good thought
Call the nearest Canadian consulate and ask them. Regs are changing all the time.
In Russia and Iran, among others, just being gay can get a person a criminal record. I don't have a problem with that kind of criminal record being waived. I think the crime wold be making gay visitors pay $585 to get it cleared up.
What if your wheelchair-bound buddy's backpack full of bathroom supplies and running the pool table all night gets you gang choked by 6 bouncers as they drag you out of the busiest bar in Whistler up the stairs past the mile long line of people waiting to get in until you black out and wake up fighting to keep the cops from clamping the bracelets and then get batton choked into the drunk tank after refusing to sign the property form until they allow you to actually count your money (cause you're not that drunk) and then instead of laying on the floor next to the puddle of piss you lament your fellow drunks to join you in a bongo session on the door until they for some reason just let you go in the morning hoping you forgot about your night of civil injustice at the hands of the mounties? Oh wait, they don't really care about that!
I know a fella who landed in Vancouver on a layover for a fishing trip up to the Skeena area and was denied entry then had to fly home.
A friend and I were stopped at the border. He had been charged, but not convicted, of a DUI years ago. It was a hassle with a lot of question in a small room while I sat and waited. They let him thru with no paperwork or fees.
