Vaction - DUI 13 yrs old - Do I need TRP?

[jeffjohnson3333]

Hello,

I am a US Citizen and had a DUI in August 2006. No jail time. Classes and 6 months probation, of which I completed May 2007. I have been reading as much as I can and am not able to determine best route for me to take. I am going on a vacation for 1 week in Vancouver and Alberta. What should I do?

Send information to Canadian Consulate? If so, where is the TRP form located? (I cannot find the initial TRP paperwork to fill out).

Or, speak to official at Vancouver airport, hoping they allow me into the country?

Your help is greatly appreicated!!!

You *may* be eligible for "deemed rehabilitation" given the timeline.

It's normally pointless trying to enter Canada while inadmissible unless there is a compelling reason to allow you to enter (via TRP). https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/temporary-residents/permits.html

This does not make sense to me, and adds to my confusion. I am just visiting for vacation, not trying to become a resident. My DUI is 13 yrs old and I have completed all my requirements in US. No other criminal offenses.

It is also possible to be considered "deemed rehabilitated by the passage of time" ten years after your full sentence is completed. - Do I just show up at the border with paperwork, or is there a process to prove rehabilitated by the passage of time?
