Visiting gf but have DUI....HELP!

[HRCSV123]

I am an australian and my gf is canadian. 5 years ago I was convicted of a DUI but my 'sentence' of which i was disqualified for holding a licence for 10months will not be elapsed for 5 years until next year. We have been together for 2 years and next year are hoping to get a spuse visa for here in Australia. I want to go to Canada for 6 months from June this year to visit before I start my nursing degree next year. Is there any way to get around the rehabilitation time or would I be eligible for a TRV?

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated!!

You would have to apply for a TRP (Temporary Resident Permit) see: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/rehabil.asp
