Canadians allow Americans with DUI convictions to enter their country IF they have a 'waiver' issued by Canadian authorities.
There is a substantial fee involved to acquire this waiver and not every first time applicant of this waiver is granted one. The fee is for each waiver application and each waiver process can be time consuming, meaning several months to acquire.

I'm not sure what 'waiver' you are referring to, but a TRP (I linked to it above), costs $100 (Canadian) and a multiple entry permit is $150.
I wouldn't think that's "substantial" and I'm told a TRP can be issued in 10 in 30 minutes.
