Getting Canada visa after getting DUI from US?
Hi, I understand this issue has been posted several times but I want to make sure one more time. I got a DUI in WI and pleaded guilty and convicted as "misdemeanor ". Its been a year and half I got the DUI. I have done all the necessary things that the court asked me to do. Before I plan to go to my home country for the visa stamping I would like to explore every possible way to go to Canada and get the stamping done. So please bare with me on this for any suggestions on entering the Canada with DUI Conviction. I have been hearing mixed things about this, that some people did entered with DUI conviction but they had to go through some extra forms and spending few more dollars. When I am reading online most of the cases say it is very difficult to get the visa with DUI. So I would like to explore if there is any possibility of entering Canada with DUI before I even pursue this path. Please don't judge me, i regret every moment why I did that and I learn my lesson.
We are filing paper work for my husband to fix paper but he has 2 dui is that a huge problem?
if he is an illegal they cannot be fixed ever ... An illegal cannot adjust status in the US Marriage and babies will not help either ..that is a myth To become legal you have to return home There is a specialty forum one that deals solely with your unique issue. http://immigrate2us.net
A friend has two DUIs from at least 20 years ago. He has a passport but wants to visit Canada. What steps does he need to take to gain admission into Canada?
He cannot enter Canada under these circumstances.He could apply for a pardon, but that may not work. It would work with one DUI, if no other criminal activity happened, but then it did happen again.No country will take him because he is a two-time criminal who drives while drunk. The two times he was charged and convicted were the two times he was caught.He should probably just stay home.
Can you be deported for a DUI?
I'm in florida. I'm a permanent resident. I was arrested for DUI a couple weeks ago. At the jail they asked me all kinds of immigration questions but didn't say anything about being deported. Its my first offense. I got a second charge for driving while license suspended which they're gonna have to drop because I fixd that (they suspended me wrongfully and they took that off) I refused the breathalyzer because I thought since they already told me I was going to jail it thought it was optional =/ I know my license is gone for a while but I'm scared of being deported.. It was a mistake. I work, I go school.. I don't wanna jeopardize that.. Any relevant opinions will be appreciated [don't comment if you intend to be insensible about it.]
Entry into japan with a misdemeanor dui?
I'm planning on a trip to visit Japan this december and since I'm a green card holder, a tourist visa is required to enter into Japan. I have a misdemeanor DUI on my criminal record, should I be honest on the application? Some says Japan don't have access to the U.S. database....they wouldn't know if I don't tell. I don't want to lie on my application, anyone know if a misdemeanor DUI will lead an application to be declined? I'm currently in a DUI diversion program, did no jail time at all.

I recently heard that if you have DUI in the US you won't be permitted to enter Canada ever. Does anyone know if this is true?
Partially True.If you have a conviction of a criminal offense in the United States you can be denied entry into Canada. DUI counts as a criminal offense.There are possible ways to solve this, both temporarily (for a special trip like wedding) or permanently. But it is really going to depend on your situation.If you were convicted once, have no other convictions, and it was years ago, then you can probably get a ruling pretty easy.If you live near the border, you can visit the border and tell them that you want to apply to be deemed rehabilitated and go through the process at the border. If you don’t live near the border than you should contact a Visa application office (Find a visa application centre).If you have multiple arrests and convictions, or it was recently, then you are in tougher straights and will need to investigate with a Visa office.Regardless, if you do not want to risk being denied entry to Canada or subject to other enforcement action, you should apply at a Visa application office. A fee is required.Read on: Overcome criminal convictionsPrimarily try this: Deemed rehabilitation
Why are US citizens with a DUI on their record denied entry to Canada yet British citizens who have been to prison can visit Canada?
The law preventing those with a conviction for driving whilst impaired by drugs or alcohol applies to citizens of all countries, not just those of the USA. Whether the Canadian immigration authorities have access to criminal conviction data is another thing altogether. Drink driving convictions in the UK effectively remain on driving licences for 11 years and I think that, under normal circumstances, such information in the criminal records database will not be released after that period due to the 1974 rehabilitations of offenders act (note that there are some circumstances were offences which are “spent” under that act can be considered).Even give that drink driving convictions are recorded in the UK, it’s unclear if the Canadian Immigration authorities have access to them. However, to enter Canada with such a conviction would involve lying to the Immigration Authorities, and that is always a dangerous thing to do, although I suspect that somebody with a youthful conviction of such from 20 years ago would very likely not be detected. That might not always be the case.The UK and Canada will, of course, exchange information with regard to security risks and terrorism type issues, but it’s not going to include this sort of offence.I should add that there’s nothing special about this as a criminal offence. Anything offence considered to be criminal in Canada at the appropriate level counts. So, if somebody was imprisoned for blasphemy in a country where that is possible would not be disbarred from entering Canada.I should finally add that some in Canada want the law on DUI convictions disbarring entry into the country to be amended as it’s believed to have an adverse effect on the economy in that a significant number of American business people (not to mention some tourists) are barred from entry unless going through a somewhat uncertain and potential expensive criminal rehab process.
