Not true. It depends how long ago the ticket was from when you are trying to cross the border and probably what you are doing. I had one in '95 and was able to cross 3 times after that of which the first time was in '99 and then in 2000. I was only fishing on those trips and didn't get asked.That is true and i forgot canada wont let people in with dwi which lots of people have. Good point.
When I crossed in 2010 to hunt, I disclosed before we went that I had the DWI in '95 and they checked my record to see if I had any other issues. I did not and was allowed across. I am guessing if you try and hide it, that might be a different story if they check. I had a buddy who also had one and was pardoned for paying money to save the queen and he was let across. Not sure if there is truth to that or not.
