Admission to CA after DUI 10 years ago
My brother and I wish to drive to AK fron California but he had a DUI over ten years ago, can he enter CA? My wife heard on GMA or The Today Show that after ten years it would be okay.

You need to formally apply to the Canadian Embassy to have this removed from your record. A DUI on your record from the US is considered a crime in Canada. A family member of ours had it in California. Flew into Vancouver and was not allowed entry and was flown back to LA that day. She has had to pay and make a formal request to have it taken off her record. That was 5 years ago and she is still waiting as apparently it take years to go through the process. She was told that if she gets the right border guard she may be lucky to fly into Seattle and cross with a car but not by flying directly into Vancouver. It is crazy. And on the other hand, Rob Ford gets free access to the USA even though he has admitted to using crack. But that is another subject!
