Traveling to Canada?

They put them back on but then we found a nearby shop to confirm for us.

You drove to a shop to make sure they put the wheels back on? Seems redundant.

These were all leisure trips and stated very clearly to them

Hmm. I guess you have a nemesis working in Canadian customs or immigration.

I mean I wasn't gonna sit there in the damn parking lot in December trying to figure it out. We drove like a mile and gave the guy $20 to take the lugnuts off and put them back on in like 5 minutes. I'll trust the Border dudes for a mile or so but not the several hours of driving we were planning

I don't understand this. Just present passport or passport card and drive through.

If it's been over 10 years, Canadian immigration may allow you in because you have been deemed as rehabilitated. From what I understand, they also may not let you in.

I've had to put together paperwork to get a couple of our techs into Canada lately. You really need to put together a good entrance packet if you are going to conduct any kind of business in Canada and you need an in-country sponsor that is willing to state that they couldn't find anybody from Canada that could do the work. We wanted to send one of our techs that had a DWI 13 years ago but we didn't want to risk it because we could not get a definitive answer from the Canadian government. Unless you are from Ukraine or Hong Kong, it is pretty much impossible to move to Canada if you don't have a job offer. If you are a seasonal employee, you will get deported at the end of the season. Canada is very, very protective of its labor force. I don't mean to make this political but if Canada was bordered by a country like Mexico, Canada would have probably built a huge wall by now.

They are bordered by the USA. They probably should build a huge wall.

They could build it out of ice and make it 700 feet tall.

Ice and empty beer cans.

When I went to Canada in 2015 I drove to the border, handed them my passport and after a couple of questions about why I was going and how long I would be they let me in without issue.
I had an OWI in 1996 so that had been 19 years earlier.
