I have a DUI charge.
I was convicted of a US misdemeanor.
I received a pardon for my crime.
Answer
Canada treats impaired driving seriously and increased penalties with the passage of the Impaired Driving Act of 2018, Ch 21 (June 21, 2018)..The Canadian government's websites provide comprehensive information on these issues. The NYCourtHelp guidance on sealing criminal records and getting rights back may be helpful.
