Traveling to Canada is one of the many added bonuses of living in Seattle. It is
always a short drive, ferry, or plane ride away. But a Seattle DUI conviction can
mess all that up. Here's how.
Canada's legal system is different than ours. Their crimes are characterized differently
than ours. One of these differences concerns DUI. In Canada, a DUI conviction is
treated even more severely than here in the states.
Because of the seriousness of a DUI conviction in Canada, sometimes it can affect
your ability to travel there. They don't let people in with certain criminal histories,
and a DUI may qualify you as someone that isn't allowed entry into the country.
The funny thing about this is that no one really knows what the precise standard
is. Some people have no problem travelling to and from Canada with a DUI conviction
on their record. Some people are turned away at the border. And some people have
even made it through some of the time and been turned away others.
The bottom line is, if you are convicted of a Seattle DUI it can have an effect
on your ability to travel to Canada. This is just one more reason to hire a great
