Deemed Rehabilitation

You may be deemed rehabilitated if at least 10 years have passed since you completed the sentence imposed for your crime.

Some requirements for deemed rehabilitation include:

You have only been convicted of one offence; AND
The offence would be punishable in Canada by a maximum term of imprisonment of less than 10 years.

You are not required to submit an application to be deemed rehabilitated.

I don't understand the reasoning for blocking people with arrest records for a DUI or for possession of a small amount of weed. It's not like those offenses are indicators of being a dangerous criminal.

I'm wondering if other countries are as strict?

I was transferring from kodiak to Florida and the message came out that if you had a DUI you will not be permitted entry into Canada. A buddy of mine was already on his way with his wife and kids and were turned around. He got his DUI by a park ranger. He was sitting on a 4wheeler in our camp site an had a beer in his hands.
