Are you planning a trip to Canada and heard you will not be able to enter the country if you have a DUI on your record?
It is true visitors to the country will not be allowed admittance if they have been convicted of an alcohol related offense without proper advance planning. You may be thinking there is no way the border crossing officials will know about my DUI.
Perhaps it took place many years ago or in another state. The truth is Canadian border agents have access to a wide range of criminal databases that allow them to check each person’s background at the border or at Canada Customs and Immigration in an airport.
Unlike playing a video game, you only get one chance to fight criminal charges. There is no, “sorry, I messed up, can we start over?”
If you don’t have proper legal representation you are risking your future. Some consequences may impact you in ways you never would have imagined.
