    I thought DUIs were like manslaughter charges serious up in Canada. I’ve worked with some guys who had gotten them and they said they couldn’t go to Canada anymore.

      Yes, they do have further reaching effects, but if its just a DUI, you basically just get a fine, a temporary license suspension, maybe have to deal with a probationary officer for awhile, and a breathalyzer in any vehicle you may drive.

      It takes several years of not renewing your expired or suspended license before you have to do more than pay some fees to get your license back once the suspension is over.
