@whitequark @0xabad1dea Makes sense. There are definitely specific offenses that are disqualifiers, IIRC you can't even get into Canada as a visitor much less immigrate if you have a conviction for DUI.
@whitequark @0xabad1dea I dont know if there is an expiration date or it's a lifetime ban but we had a secretary/admin type guy at $dayjob a decade ago who often attended conferences and events to do logistics support for client meetings and the like, and I was told that he couldn't do so for events in Canada because his DUI conviction was a disqualifier
@azonenberg @0xabad1dea okay so the actual decision tree is quite a bit more complex https://www.cicnews.com/2025/10/crim-article-1061193.html
