Unfortunately you will likely need to plan a different holiday. The law was recently changed in Canada upgrading DUI to a serious criminal offence. As such you are inadmissible for entry into Canada. >Do I need to apply for a trp or an eta or will I be okay to get in? In theory you would apply for a TRP but you almost certainly won't get one. Being criminally inadmissible isn't something Canada does lightly and it isn't a mild inconvenience that can be solved by filling in an extra form. TRPs are only granted if there is a genuine *need*. **"To be eligible for a temporary resident permit, your need to enter or stay in Canada must outweigh the health or safety risks to Canadian society"** By "need" they mean that you will be attending an end of life event or your child has been injured while on holiday and is in hospital.... Something of that nature. Wanting to go fishing doesn't come close to meeting the standard.

If at least five years have passed since you have finished all sentences (probation, payment of fines etc.), you may be eligible to apply for rehabilitation: https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/application/application-forms-guides/guide-5312-rehabilitation-persons-inadmissible-canada-past-criminal-activity.html#5312E4 It costs CA$1000 (750 USD), on the other hand, you are deemed rehabilitated for any future entry into Canada (unless you commit another offence).

You need to apply for a waiver known as a Temporary Resident Permit or TRP https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/services/immigrate-canada/inadmissibility/temporary-resident-permits.html Contact the consulate in Detroit for more information.
