I'm trying to find out an answer to this question. So I play a professional sport in Canada. I have played in Canada for 6 years on and off. Back in 2005 I got a DUI w/Injury to my wife. That is a major offense which I understand. So every year I have to get a TRP and run into the same issue. Well in 2014 they told me to get criminal rehabilitation for the 2nd time and final time. I didn't fully fill out the application so it wasn't in the system in time/correctly for the 2015 season. They denied me entry but ultimatly gave me a TRP anyways but said I need to get this criminal rehabilitation process filled out. They said as long as its in the system they will let me in the country. Well anyways today I got the news that I have been denied in my criminal rehabilitation process. Can I still get a TRP? That is my ultimate question. This DUI event happened over 10 years ago to me.

This is what they said to me. Any Help would ease my mind or maybe not. My team has told me to come up and says that a TRP is what I will get. I've had 5 TRP's

Your application and supporting documentation have been thoroughly and sympathetically
reviewed but you have failed to satisfy me that you are rehabilitated.
The effect of this decision is that you remain inadmissible to enter Canada because you are a person described in paragraphs 36(1)(b) and/or 36(2)(b) of the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act which read:
36. (1) A permanent resident or a foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of serious criminality for
(b) having been convicted of an offence outside Canada that, if committed in Canada, would constitute an offence under an Act of Parliament punishable by a maximum term of imprisonment of at least 10 years;
36. (2) A foreign national is inadmissible on grounds of criminality for
(b) having been convicted outside Canada of an offence that, if committed in Canada , would constitute an indictable offence under an Act of Parliament, or of two offences not arising out of a single occurrence that, if committed in Canada , would constitute offences under an Act of Parliament;

When was all of your conditions filled after the DUI? Probations, fines paid, penalties, all that stuff. You are eligible to apply for rehabilitation 5 years after the completion of any penalties and fines given.

Example: Your infraction happened in 2005. You were put on probation for 3 years and ordered to pay a fine. You served and paid your fine inside that 3 years. You can apply for rehabilitation in 2013. If you did not pay the fine, but served the probation and say paid the fine in 2013, then you are not eligible until 2018.
 
I hope your wife has fully recovered.

Has it been more than 10 years since you completed whatever sentence was imposed (as Alurra71 mentioned)?

If it has NOT, then that's likely your problem. Unfortunately, your team may not Trump (had to say it) the decision of CIC/CBSA regarding your 6th TRP.

Good luck!
