Alright am I reading this right? If it's been more than 10 years, you are "deemed rehabilitated" and you are good to go. Without any more paperwork or hassle?

Hmmm, not sure how they would know. If memory serves me right, I don't think it asks that question anywhere on a CanPass form. And the hole on Maine drivers goes away after 10 years. So, when asked, I just showed my passport. I never was asked the question, and flew into Canada 3-5 times a month, maybe more.

Sad thing is the Canadian inspectors never, ever gave any trouble, I used to have more grief coming back to home. Custom's tried to wack us 5 grand for have 1 passengers birth day off by 1 day. Gave me all kinds of grief in front of the pax. Really, really torqued me.

I did like Canada, just never understood what they were saying half the time. And gas in litres, speed in Kilo's,, and who was that really ugly gal on the coins?

The Canadians do a background check that makes the US one look like a cake walk. They find out about a old high school DIU in 1984 for a guy approaching 40 years old. We have had guys get turned down after getting a clean check in the US. But they then pay the Canadian Atty. and they are reabilitated

That's a surprise. I can remember seeing a segment of "60 Minutes" some time back dealing with Canada's immigration policy and the whole thing appeared to be a joke even to the former Canadian immigration official they interviewed. He was alarmed at the type of people they were letting in the country almost unrestricted. "Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves ? Sure...come on in !! We won't know where you are or what you're doing once we let you in, but come on anyway ".

Now they stop some US citizen because he had a DUI years ago ? This is typical government logic...wait...is that an oxymoron ?

Its just another scheme to grub some more of your hard earned money. Your deemed an easy target that will have to pay.

So do they tell you there is a problem when you give the names to CANPASS before departure?

This isn't a problem for me personally, but I'd hate to have some passenger turned back at the border. Of course, I rarely see an inspector on arrival in Canada anyway, I just call CANPASS and all is good.

Western Canada has been trying to "get rid of the Liberals" for decades. The trouble is, since Ontario and Quebec represent about 60% of Canada's population, those two provinces basically decide who will be Prime Minister. And we all know those Easterners can not be trusted
