A:
If you have three DUIs and want to enter Canada, you will likely need to go through the process of Criminal Rehabilitation. Since your last DUI was seven years ago and you've completed probation, you're eligible to apply. It's important to gather all relevant documents, including court records, proof of completion of your sentence, and personal statements explaining your situation.
The application process for Criminal Rehabilitation can be complex and may take up to 10 months or longer. You will need to fill out the application forms accurately, provide supporting evidence, and pay the necessary fees. Mistakes or missing information can delay the process.
Since you're considering handling this yourself, make sure to carefully review all instructions and guidelines provided by the Canadian immigration authorities. Staying organized and thorough is key to a successful application.
