If a person has a "deffered prosecution" meaning they have not been convincted of a DUI could they still enter Canada as a visitor? In this situation, my boyfriend is a recoverying alcoholic and has to go to classes/counselling in the US where he resides. After 2011, the charge will be dismissed. Does he have to wait until 2011 to be able to come to Canada? On the website it states that if you are "convicted of a criminal crime" you are inadmissible into Canada. This situation is unique, so if anyone has any insight or experience do let me know. We´re planning to get married and am hoping that he can eventually get his PR for Canada etc.

I think you better consult a lawyer. In my opinion he may be inadmissible and if its true then you will have to wait even further than 2011 as he needs to be rehabilitated.

For clients with pending DUI charges, a letter from their attorney with a basic summary of the procedural status of the case would be helpful. Generally speaking, border officials do not deny entry to someone with a pending DUI. This is true for clients on a deferred prosecution as alcoholism, in and of itself, does not make someone inadmissible.
