Question by Eric: Travel to Canada with a prior DUI conviction?
13 years ago, while living in the United Kingdom, I got a DUI. Dumbest, most bone-headed thing I’ve ever done but it is what it is. I have had a clean driving record since. Anyway, I am a Dutch citizen and have a Dutch passport. I also moved to the United States 10 years ago (I’m a permanent resident).

I’m looking at traveling to Canada and am wondering if I need to apply for “Rehabilitation”; or if I would get turned back by Canadian Immigration, or if indeed it would even show up?

Best answer:

Answer by Leafer
Since 13 years have passed it’s likely this would be considered a case of “Deemed rehabilitation”(if indeed it did show up)…you don’t have to apply for this per se…you can just appear at the border and (if asked ) show the documents(if you still have them -relevant to the conviction)…or you can (free of charge) fill out a rehabilitation form(the same form that you would have used to apply for “Rehabilitation” you spoke of-which costs a bunch of money and can take a year to process)-only when you fill it out you check a different box .Info below:

Being an addict leaves an individual in constant turmoil, whether, the addiction is an alcohol addiction, or a drug addiction. There is not one addict that does not want to quit. An addiction has a harmful effect on not only the individual, but the family and friends of the addict, as well. In time, the addiction begins to completely control their lives, and you will find that it can possess a high level of risk to the individual, both emotionally and physically.
There are millions of American’s that are struggling to overcome a drug addiction or alcoholism. There are also millions of American’s that have overcome their addictions. Whether you are an addict, or you know someone that is suffering with addiction, the time to take action is now.
There is a variety of information out there, but, likely one of the best support and therapeutic resources for the addict is a rehab center. Through a rehab center the addict has the specialized care and counsel that they need for their addiction.
What Can I Expect From a Drug Rehab Center?
A drug rehab center is specialized to treat the addict. They are aware of the latest techniques, have the proper equipment, counsel and medical personnel at the facility, as well as, the support the addict needs. There are over 15,000 treatment centers in the United States, with each having their own degree of specialty in treating the addiction.

What Should I Look For in a Drug Rehab Center?

Drug Rehab centers will vary in location. Some may be in the center of the city, while others are in a secluded area. You should look for an addiction center that provides comprehensive addiction treatment. This may be a detox, an outpatient or residential care. Many rehab centers are based on the 12 Step-based addiction treatment programs which are used by Alcoholic Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. The rehab centers should have medically supervised detox, outpatient and residential care, which include counseling to the recovering addict.

The idea of the rehab center is to provide a spiritual, emotional and physical rebirth. The addict can expect to receive:

* Education about addiction
* Group and individual counseling
* Recovery skills training
* Family program
* Sober recreation
* Relapse prevention planning
*Possible lifetime aftercare
* Possibly 12 Step Meetings and Book Study
* Medical Supervision

Personal care is important when overcoming an addiction. The addict wants their life back, but, without the proper care, that may not be possible, as it is an addiction that they are dealing with. Recovery means having tools, programs, and activities to support the addict in the journey of recovery. Management and recovery must be taught and personalized for the individual and the rehab center must be one that the addict whether an alcoholic or a drug addicts is comfortable in the environment.
A rehab center that offers lifetime aftercare which is important as there are times in an addicts life, even once recovered from their addiction, they may fall back and begin to indulge in their addiction again.
