Maybe. If the offence and conviction took place more than five years ago, you should apply for a PARDON, from the jurisdiction where you were convicted. Under the Canadian Criminal Code, inmpared driving, and over/80 m.g. are both considered to be indictable offences, and upon conviction, yes, you do have a Criminal Record for life, unless you apply for a Pardon. To be bondable, you have to have no criminal record, and especially no convictions that involve theft or robbery. Bonding companies do a very complete records check and will deny anyone with a conviction that has not been pardoned. It takes about a year to be granted a pardon, and the cost is about $600 for the fees and the charges to have the application processed.

∙ 15y agoIf the offence was summary, meaning less than 6 months jail time or under a $2000 fine you can apply for a pardon after 3 years. If it is an indictable offence meaning over 6 months jail sentence or over a $2000 fine you can apply for a pardon after 5 years. So I doubt that you can still be bonded useless you complete the process to obtain a pardon so that your criminal history cannot be seen by an employer. Aocording to the IB of Canada, a crimnal record does not mean that person cannot be bonded. Not all criminal records affect a person's ability to be bonded. Banks hire people with records on a case by case basis.

Having a criminal record alone does not necessarily exclude you from being bondable.

∙ 13y agoIf you were convicted under federal law and not under provincial traffic laws, you most certainly do.
I believe that the relevant offense can be pardoned after 3 years of good behavior. Maybe the website listed below can tell you more about criminal pardons in Canada.

Can you enter Canada from the United States with a felony on your record?
As of January 1st, 2008, no US citizen will be allowed entrance through the Canadian border if he or she has been convicted of a felony in the US. The law also applies to the conviction of several types of US misdemeanors, including a DUI conviction within the last 5 years. However, there exists an administrative process by which a person with a DUI conviction between 5 and 10 years old may apply for a "rehabilitation pass". That process often takes several months to accomplish and can be costly.
Can you enter the UK from Canada with a criminal record?
According to law clerk, Olga Sattarova JD, whose article is cited below: "If you have a trial under way, or there is a warrant for your arrest, or you have charges pending against you, you are considered criminally inadmissible. If you have been convicted of minor offenses (including assault, dangerous driving, DUI, theft, shoplifting, unauthorized possession of firearms, possession of illegal substances, etc.) or indictable criminal offenses (including assault with a deadly weapon, manslaughter, etc.) you prohibited from. Further action is required to find out whether you will be allowed entrance."
Can a Canadian citizen with a criminal record travel to another Canadian province?
Each country has its own policy regarding admission of canadians with criminal record. The best idea is to check it out with the embassy of that country in Ottawa. As for USA, most conviction makes it hard for a Canadian to enter that country. But there are exception (eg. "simple DUI" without injuries....) . If you are denied access, you can ask the US embassy for a waiver. Your lawyer might consider asking the judge to grant you an absolute discharge if you havent been sentenced yet and if you can demonstrate that a criminal record would prevent you from travelling for work or other significant reasons. Revision: If you have a criminal record in Canada, it will either be a summary offence (less serious, like theft under $5,000) or an indictable offence (most serious, like theft over $5,000, murder, drug trafficking). Believe me, if you have been charged with a criminal offence, you will be VERY aware of the difference. Being convicted of a summary offence will NOT prohibit you from traveling to the US. An indictable offence will. If you have been convicted of an indictable offence in Canada, you must wait 5 years after your conviction date before you can apply for an immigration waiver. At a cost of nearly $600 and a 3 - 6 month waiting period, you may or may not be granted a waiver at their discretion. Immigration waivers are valid from anywhere between 1 - 5 years, again at their discretion. You must go through the same process and pay the same amount of money each time. Don't bother asking why, they wont tell you. You must produce this waiver every time you cross, whether you are asked for it or not. They will send you in to the office where you have to purchase a card for $5.00 that will be valid for the length of your stay, or for multiple entries for up to a period of 6 months. Once again, this is up to the discretion of the border agent. If you cross on a long weekend, this can be a VERY time consuming process. You'll be in a BIG line. It should be noted that if you have a drug related criminal offence, you are unlikely to be granted a waiver, as they have a zero tolerance policy for drugs in the US. Hopefully your last US experience was a happy one, because you're likely never to legally set foot on US soil again. If you want to travel to Mexico, you will have no problem, provided you do not have a criminal record in Mexico. You will simply require a passport and a tourist card (supplied by most airlines and included with the cost of your trip). Make sure you plan your air travel so that you don't have to set down on US soil, or you are bound to have problems. Traveling throughout Europe and most of Asia should be easy too, but I would double check with the respective consulates before you go. Being granted an absolute discharge is extremely unlikely in all but the most extenuating circumstances, especially if it's an indictable offence. If they have enough evidence to convict you, you're done. Please note...A Canadian Pardon is only recognized in Canada! It DOES NOT erase your criminal history. You will still have a criminal record. All it does, is enable you to answer an employment application question "Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offence for which a pardon has not been granted?" with a "No." Other than that, a pardon isn't worth the paper it's written on. Don't waste your time and money applying for one, unless you need a bond for a job or some other kind of security clearance for employment purposes. You have to wait 5 years after the end of your sentence to apply for one. Foreign countries do not honour them. Some people use the term "pardon" when referring to an immigration waiver. They are NOT the same thing. One more note...if you are asked by anyone, in an official capacity, in a foreign country if you have a criminal record, DO NOT LIE! Your troubles will MULTIPLY!! They ask you first, then they research your background to verify. If you are lying, you're going to jail. This can be a period of anywhere from 1 day to up to a month or more if you have to be extradited back to Canada. Don't take the risk. The lie will become the problem for you, not your record.
Can a father who has joint physical custody of his sons be granted full custody if the mother is convicted and serves jail time for a DUI?
Possibly. It doesn't help her case at all to have a DUI. It doesn't hurt to take her to court over this. Also, you should mention that being away from the kids for 6 months has hurt their relationship. The kids shouldn't be confused with on-again/off-again relationships where sometimes the mom is there for them and sometimes she is in jail.
