Q: I’m not a Canadian citizen; can I still join the Army?

If you have a permanent resident status, you may still be considered eligible for employment (Landed Immigrants may apply to the Reserves) under certain conditions. Forces. For more information visit the Canadian Forces recruiting website: http://www.recruiting.forces.ca, email a recruiter at jobs@recruiting.forces.gc.ca or call the recruiting hotline 1-800-856-8488.
