Getting into Canada with a DUI is not as simple as showing up at the border with a valid passport. If you have ever been arrested or convicted for driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol, regardless of whether it was a misdemeanor or felony offense, you may be criminally inadmissible to Canada and denied entry. Fortunately, there are steps you can take NOW to avoid a hassle. 

Safety: Toronto is considered to be one of the safest cities in the world. In 2024, a ranking of 60 large cities by The Economist ranked Toronto as the 6th safest major city in the world, and the safest major city in North America.

Toronto Pearson (YYZ) Airport serves most major cities around the world, and is about 28 km/17.6 miles from our headquarters hotel. Several taxi companies provide service from the airport to our hotel; rideshare services Lyft and Uber are also available. Another option is the Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, which is just 3 km/1.86 miles from the hotel; this smaller airport provides service from most major cities in Canada plus a few U.S. cities (including Newark, Boston, Chicago-Midway, and Washington-Dulles).

Parking at the Hotel is extremely limited! There are two parking garages in close walking distance of the hotel. We do not recommend driving large vehicles if you can avoid it.
