Temporary work permit and Inadmissability

[tagonist]

I have been doing some research regarding admissibility and the exact semantics of what is considered.

I understand that the rehabilitated time for entry into Canada is 5/10 years after the imposed sentence is completed, however my question is about a temporary resident permit. Could I theoretically obtain a temporary resident permit and work in Canada?

I have a DUI charge in USA that expires later this month. I read the Canadian Criminal Code regarding impaired driving and the exact wording says "in excess of 80 mg per 100ml of blood (.08 BAC)". I am guessing that since I was charged with a DUI in the USA that it doesn't matter what the BAC content was, but would I be able to get around this since I was convicted with .08 BAC and not in excess of it? Or am I stuck in the 5/10 year category?

If this is not the correct place for this question please let me know!

1. Should have been posted in foreign worker.
2. In theory you could obtain TRP, but it is unlikely to be issued unless you have an extremely good reason that necessitates you being in Canada, work is not usually a reason.
3. You can apply for rehabilitation 5 years after the expiry of the sentence (the sentence includes any license suspension) At 10 years you can be "deemed rehabilitated"
