Subject: Reckless driving record, entry to canada
  hey guys! I came across this website thanks to a friends referral. here is my quick story.

I had a DUI arrest when i was 17 that got reduced to reckless driving. I am planning on a trip to Europe this summer and I booked a flight that has a layover in Toronto both ways (coming in from the US). I Dont intend to stay in canada more than the layover time both ways. will I run into any trouble?

My trip is not until July so if there is anything i need to do, please let me know so that i can get to it.

Regards

Almost all convictions (including DUI, DWI, reckless driving, negligent driving, misdemeanor drug possession, all felonies, domestic violence (assault IV), shoplifting, theft, etc) can make a person inadmissible to Canada, regardless of when they occurred. For this reason, it is not recommended people with past convictions attempt to enter Canada without first obtaining the necessary documentation.

It doesn´t matter if you are in transit, you are still need to meet the requirements for admission.

You could be refused of entry into the country and that would be the end of your summer trip.

Contact the Canadian Embassy before you travel.

DocD is right in theory but common sense has to prevail.

I´m sure DocD never inhaled like Bill Clinton or his interpretation of what sexual relations might be a little different.

You claim something happened when you were 17 so we all assume that was a while ago. So your flying in and changing planes with a ticket to continue on that day or the next. This is no different than a GTA person driving to Buffalo the night before an early morning flight from Buffalo just to save $200.00 in costs.

Your not a teenager anymore your a changed person. Bring proof just in case and be deemed rehabilitated if the issue ever arises (which it probably will not).

I assume your flying in to either Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto Canada´s big three airports not some tiny international designated airport in the middle of nowhere.

All what it takes is a CBSA officer to press F7 and check any past charges and that would be the end of your trip. What Roy is calling "common sense"..well... there is nothing common about that.

If I were you, I would contact the Canadian Embassy before traveling.
