    On behalf of my country, I’m sorry.

    I honestly have no idea why Canada sees this as enough of a problem to prohibit you from visiting.

    It’s not like we don’t have people here, who live here, who have DUIs. We do. Lots of them.

    Honestly, while it’s bad, it’s not like you’re coming over the border while driving under the influence. It just feels like something that should, at the very least, fall off, after a few years. Like, you get a DUI in 2020, you can’t visit until 2025 or something like that… As long as you don’t get another DUI or other felony, sure, why not?

    IDK. I’m just some guy, eh?

      If I understand correctly, there’s a way to get permission to enter if it’s been a certain amount of time after the conviction and it was a non-violent offense.

      I get it, though. Every country has the equivalent of “felons,” and they are not obliged to allow felons from outside in.
