I've been reading posts about not being permitted entry in to Canada if you've ever been arrested, especially with a DUI convction. Unfortunatey I've had the experience of being arrested more than once back in my younger stupid days and one was in fact a DUI conviction more than 35 years ago. I've traveled in and out of Canada several times over the last 5 years on business without even a hiccup. I'm planning a Canadian/Alaskan trip upon retirement. Is there any reason to expect issues entering into Canada for this retirement trip?
Just another thought.
Do you have now, or have you considered getting, membership in the NEXUS trusted traveler program? It might make border crossings less worrisome, because it vets you pretty thoroughly on both sides of the border. If you do get accepted and get your NEXUS card, it tells the border agents you've been checked out by just about every major law enforcement agency in the US and Canada. Makes border crossing much faster, because you've been pre-approved for entry. Cost per person is US$50 for 5 years. Caveat: Everyone in the vehicle has to have one, if you use the NEXUS lane at the port of entry. No other id documents allowed, including passports.
However, as some others have said, if you haven't had any issues to date, probably not needed. They may have already decided that you're admissible.
