It makes sense that the Canadian immigration officers would have access to the NCIC. A Google search reveals that a DUI conviction in Canada is an ‘indictable’ offense. the equivalent of a felony in the US. Generally speaking, a US citizen with a DUI is allowed entry after 5 years. There may be different rules for seafarers on duty. I would consult with a Canadian Immigration law firm before making career decisions. Not recommending this one in particular but using it as an example of what you may be facing.
