My wife has more than one DUI/DWI (two, or maybe three, although the third might have been pleaded down to a lesser charge). These all happened before we even dated - I know, even one speaks to a certain disregard for societal norms and for the safety of herself and others, but that's all in the past, and she is a great mom to our two kids. All of the offenses occurred more than 10 years ago. There have been no other offenses of any kind in the intervening years. I know that, for the purposes of being allowed in to Canada, an individual can be considered to be rehabilitated by time if there was only one offense, but will the presence of more than one prevent us from even considering moving to Canada from the US? Does anyone have direct/personal experience with something like this? I have looked at the Canadian visa websites and I know that one can petition the Canadian government, but I was just wondering whether the attempt is usually met with success or if the government usually shoots down the application.
Thanks for any insight...
