Quebec City is a pretty cool place. It has some of the best "old world" architecture in North America and some pretty nice restaurants.

Good luck!

I'm sure our resident canuck Jem can elaborate
I don’t actually know about the DUI. I’ve never had a license.
I’ll see if I can find anything out for you.

Here’s what I found! Canada is one of the strictest countries for DUI in the West. But there’s good news! If you only have one DUI and it was more than 5 years ago, there is a way to get it permanently excused for entry to Canada.

The law changed in 2018. Since your DUI was before that, you should be considered “deemed rehabilitated.” They recommend getting a letter from a lawyer beforehand though in case you get a custom’s officer having a bad day.

The seasons in Canadia are a little different. Winter is from October to May, sometimes June. Then you get a month of Spring followed a month or so of Summer. That's punctuated with Fall in September, and then you're back to Winter. It's all well planned, and Yes - there is a light switch at the national Capital to turn Winter on and off on schedule. Nobody wants to miss Summer.

For the record I was never implying that you had ever driven under the influence [indeed seems like you've never driven ] just that you would have insight due to Canada having the toughest DUI laws in North America.

They represent [ ] an airline at an MRO [Maintenance, Repair, & Overhaul] station where the airline is contracting out work, some of the things they do:
Audit maintenance documentation [both during and after work is complete] to ensure all work is recorded and signed off, proper tech data is being used, and ensuring all 8130-3 [Airworthiness Certificate] form are part of the records. Also ensuring that the write ups conform to the airline's records process.
Complete and file SDR [Service Difficulty Report] and Form 337 [Major Repair or Alteration] documents with the FAA and any other necessary regulatory agencies.
Ensures that all parts removed from the aircraft are properly tagged, and placed on proper parts rack [Serviceable or Unserviceable], parts that can be rebuilt are sent to the airline shops, and that scrap parts are destroyed.
Order and track any parts that need to come from the airline to the MRO
Ensure that maintenance work also [too] is following the procedures laid out in the Repair Station, QC and QA manuals.
That's the short list

I understand neither the A&P nor the Rep position require it but do you have a pilot's license of any flavor?

Dear Cthulhu no.
Reason A: It's expensive as hell to get one...
Reason 2: The only way I go up in a single engine aircraft [what you have to start out flying] is if it has an ejection seat...
Reason Echo: Did I mention it's expensive...

I know it's expensive. Back in the day a guy I worked with was using the GI bill to get his commercial license. He had to log hours in a low wing single engine Mooney. He would let me take the controls after a while and even practice stall recoveries, pretty much everything but takeoffs and landings. It was a total blast.
