[pct-l] Fwd: Canadian Border

[Jackie McDonnell]

Your Canada entrance papers will be denied if you have a DUI on your record.


Whenever I've driven into Canada, I've never been asked "have you ever had a
DUI?"  However, they'll do a background check on you when you send your PCT
Canada entrance papers, and they'll find out that way.
