Hello all
I live in Minnesota. I am currently in the process of getting hired by the Canadian Pacific Railroad (operates in northern mid-west US and Canada). I will be hired in the US, but due to my location will be required to cross the border into Canada for work fairly frequently (presumably on a weekly/monthly basis). I got a DUI in the summer of 2011, officially being convicted later in that year. There was a 2 year probation on the conviction, which makes me eligible for rehabilitation in January 2019. After talking to the border agents in North Dakota (closet crossing to me) they told me I would need a TRP/temporary residential permit. Is this correct? I've gotten different advice depending on the Canadian official I spoken with.
If there is correct, it appears that the form for rehab and TRP are the same, and thus require FBI and state records that require a bit of time to get. This opportunity randomly presented itself and is fairly time sensitive.
