Some states have rules about the length of the employers "look-back" but in reality, the information is out there as a public record, and they can research your adult record for as far back as they wish.
A felony conviction stays on the public record for 10 years in North Carolina. However, a potential employer can find records from further back during a background check.

That is up to the employer. If you had a felony at 18, good luck finding a bank that will hire you at 40. A lawn care service might let you push a mower if you got out of jail last week.
There is no limit set by law on how far back a prospective employer can look into your criminal history - EXCEPT - a civilian employer cannot access your juvenile record.
He probably has to check in with his probation/ parole officer.
As far as they wish, excludindg your juvenile record, of course.
It takes 4 years to be removed from your driving record in NY State, but an employer can go back and look at your record for 10 years.
Depending on the state, it never will. Many states will give you the ability several years after the crime to appeal before the state to have it expunged from your record. You'd have to check your state laws. However, a felony is a serious crime with serious consequences that go far beyond when you're released from prison.

Yes, anyone looking up your record will see the felony. They don't go away or get dropped off at a certain point in time.
No way of telling - each employer can be different - they can go back as far as they want.
An American with a felony record cannot enter Canada.
