trying to cross the canadian border after a DWI


What is the name of your state?New York

I recived a DWI when I was 18 yrs old, and recieved a youthful offender status along with three years of probation. It has been three years and I am now 21 and off of probation. My question is, since the DWI is now sealed in my youth records, will I still face problems trying to get in and out of Canada?

YOu better make sure your record is sealed before you assume.

how can i determine if my records are indeed sealed...and if they are does that mean the are sealed from the border as well, or do they have access to my youth records as well.
