Actually there was a change to the Criminal Code last December - it made DUIs into Serious Crimes by virtue of bumping the maximum sentence into the 10-year plus bracket. This automatically meant that ALL people with a DUI, who have not arranged a 'pardon', can no longer make use of the Deemed Rehabilitated clause. This is the first cruise season impacted by the change - and as of yet I have no idea how much discretion is being used by CBSA, e.g. whether folks who had a DUI years ago and have successfully entered Canada under the Deemed Rehabilitated exemption have continued to be accepted (i.e. 'grandfathered in') or if even folks previously able to come in have been getting refused.

 

So OP, depending whether you have previously been able to get into Canada or not you may become one of the first test cases for the change... personally Id' be taking no chances, and be filing for a 'pardon' ASAP to ensure you can continue visiting the Great White North. 

Does any one know if there is a statue of limitations my dwai was over 35 yrs ago
