People don't get turned away until they get sent to secondary inspection, hence why you're unlikely to witness someone being denied due to a DUI or some other conviction
Again, convictions are assessed based on equivalency with Canadian law. A DUI in Canada is essentially classified as the equivalent of a felony, hence why it is taken seriously.
