Can you visit Canada as a tourist if you have been charged (as opposed to convicted) of a DUI?

Discretion of Canadian border officials to check records for “inadmissable offenses” and bar entry for many convictions—what I don’t know is if a DUI charge would show up during a background check.

I think as long as you don’t tell them, you’re good.
there is no way of them finding out, unless you have items in your car/luggage that they believe pose a threat to their turf. In which case, they may want do a background check on you and examine your history on your license. Otherwise, as long as you have a valid drivers license and are just visiting and have a valid reason for visiting, they will not check anything of such manner
A DWI conviction is grounds for being denied admittance to Canada.
@ItsAHabit “A DWI conviction is grounds for being denied admittance to Canada.” even as a tourist?
They let Henry Kissinger visit and he’s a war criminal!
