Im not entirely sure but what i can say is i had a friend visit me from the USA, she had a DUI which she got 9 years before she came to visit canada and nothing at all was said.

That said, im sure someone else will tell you they know someone who had trouble. It probably depends on the agent you get but again i could be wrong

Echoing what flynner said but you are going to get different answers from different people.

Personally now I'd be ringing the embassy as they are more than likely going to give you the most reliable answer out of everybody.

You've planning on visiting Canada or living in Canada? They're very strict on DUI offences so it would more than likely affect a PR application. But as a visitor you should be OK as far as I know.
