Hey guys thanks for the replies, and thanks pc once again. Me and my friend SFontaine who should be on these boards shortly are the two Canadians looking to enlist down south. We have both enlisted in the canadian forces army reserve here in western Canada as infantry, just to get some experience before we make our journey down south in about a year (give or take).

We've been having a pretty tough time though. We know what we want to do, 11-bravos and placement in an airborne unit. Thats where we need to start off, and we need green cards. Were both Canadians citizens living in Western Canada, approx right above Washington state and Montanna. But like I said before we dont have duel citizenship or anything, and we arn't native canadians either.

Im running out of ideas, there is got to be something we can do. Ive heard of 4 other people (not including paracowboy's 6) enlisting in the us army with ease, all of which didnt have duel citizenship or anything like that. If need be we will drive down and talk to a recruiter, I will be in Colorado/Washington this fall. I can drive there in about a day, do what ever is needed. Is it possible to just move down to the US for 2 years then get a green card? I could just work or take some schooling until I get a card but that would take a while, the sooner I get my green card the better, I want to enlist and not waste time.

Thanks again guys.

If you're Canadian citizens, you can join the British Army if you're a "bona fide resident of the UK or the Irish Republic."

It would probably be easier for you to get resident status in the UK than in the USA, at the moment.

Here's some info from the British Army website at: www.army.mod.uk

General Requirements

Nationality
Applicants will be eligible if they are a bona fide resident of the United Kingdom or the Irish Republic and are one of the following:

A British citizen; a citizen of the British dependent territories; a British overseas citizen; a British subject under the British Nationality Act 1981; a citizen of an independent Commonwealth country; British Protected Person; Citizen of the Irish Republic.

Residence
In addition to the rules on nationality, whether or not you are of UK origin, you should normally have resided in the UK for a minimum of 5 years immediately prior to making an application. In certain circumstances, a shorter period of residency may be accepted. Your recruiter should be able to advise you when making an application if you are eligible for such an exemption. You should also be in possesion of a full passport from your country of origin showing your immigration status in the UK. All applicants must have the right of entry in to the UK.

 But like I said before we dont have duel citizenship or anything, and we arn't native canadians either.

Where are you originally from?

I was born in Canada and so were my parents. By not being native Canadians I mean I am not an "Indian" and dont belong to any tribe... sorry if that sounds wrong I dont know how else to put it.
