    Ok, I tried the search function but couldnt find an answer.

    Other than showing up at the border is there another way to find out if you are OK to go into canada as a commercial driver?

    Of course there is, go here;

    http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/visit/apply-who.asp

    AND if you have any DUI's forget it, you will have to go through rehabilitation (read give them money) to enter.

    You need a passport, passport card or enhanced license also, birth certificates are a thing of the past thanks to our government.
     
    CougFan Thanks this.

    Have the passport, no DUI's or convictions, but did get hit with a restraining order a while back, wondering if that will stop me.

    Don't know, there is a list on their site of crimes or criminal acts that limit your access but I'm not thinking your's would be one.

    Call them, there is a number on the site, Canada is usually cool about questions and after thousands of crossings I have only met one guy on the Maple Leaf side with an attitude and that was because I couldn't pronounce a street name in French as he wanted it done.
     
    CougFan Thanks this.

    I can speak first hand about the restraining order.it won't affect going into Canada. It will affect coming back to the states.you will get pulled in every time and get questioned about it.
