How Can An American With a DUI Travel to Canada on Business?

Canada and the United States are close neighbours, and many people who live near the border forget the fact that they are entering a foreign country and cross the border regularly for work or pleasure.

If you are an American with a criminal incident in your background – even something minor, many years ago – you may be found inadmissible to enter Canada on business or holidays. This can be frustrating and even embarrassing when a minor incident from decades ago prevents you from doing your job and travelling to Canada.
