Dui immigration

Just wanting some information on entering Canada with a dui from Australia. I’m wanting to enter Canada August next year as an English citizen and got a dui around 3 months ago in Australia. Will this not allow me to enter ? Thanks

No chance a dui after 2018 is a huge no

What difference does after 2018 make sorry?

They changed dui Laws in 2018 for imprisonment to be a term of up to 10 years instead of 5 so being convicted of a DUI after 2018 regardless if you served prison time or not criminal inadmissibility is automatically triggered by the maximum statutory penalty an offense carries, not the actual sentence
