In Canada a DUI is a felony conviction. You are not allowed into Canada if you have a felony conviction, unless it has been pardoned. Not always are you asked but if t yoarethey check you will be turned back. Along with guns make sure you declare any pepper spray including bear spray. Other prohibited weapons include swithblades and brass knuckles.
Don't have any DUI's and I do cross 4-5 times a year to fish..but it seems odd that a DUI from the US, which is not a felony, would be considered such when crossing. I suppose they just don't usually check or it somehow does not show up, because like I said I know several people who DO have DUI's in the US that cross many times each year without a problem.
If, for any reason, they get pulled aside for secondary inspection, there will be a problem... especially if they try to lie about it.
When it comes to an offense, they treat the offense as if it has been committed in Canada. It doesn't matter if it's not a felony outside of Canada if it is here
