VerifiedUnfortunately there is no predictability in this area. This is because the question about whether you can be considered to be admissibility is solely up to the discretion of the immigration officer if you just show up. This is because you can be deemed to be rehabilitated but the officer decides.
Because of the time limitation you cannot apply for what is called individual rehabilitation now. Rather, the safest thing for you to do is to attend at the closest Canadian visa office and apply for what is called a Temporary Resident Visa. You have an excellent chance of being granted this Visa. If you get it you will be assured entry into Canada.
What you should also do, for the future, is to apply for individual rehabilitation. Here's the webpage that has all the information you need about doing this:

I live in Toronto Canada so I can't say how it's done over there but for sure you have to attend somewhere. These can be done within 48 hours or even less on an emergency basis. There should be a closer office than that and you should certainly call someone and find out what the hours are and whether you can just show up. In Canada you can show up but there are hours to wait sometimes.
Generally there are visa offices, consultates and embassies and any of those would do.
