If you've been denied entry into Canada solely because of a DWI conviction, Star Tribune reporter Larry Oakes would like to hear from you.

He's conducting interviews for a story on Canada's policy of refusing entry to people with such convictions.

Sharing your experience could help raise awareness of this issue and perhaps help others avoid an unpleasant surprise at the border.

You can reach Oakes at 1-800-266-9648 or loakes@startribune.com
