Info On Brits Transferring to Canada.

[Steady The Buffs]

I was reading the thread further down this forumn, and was wondering if anyone has information on British citizens joing the CF?

I join the Military Police next September, I plan to the initial four years service. Once that is up i want to immigrate, as when i have children i do not want to bring them up here. (Plus this place, i think is generally a hole.) Canada is just a much nicer place i have found. I just want to know does anyone know the procedures for a Brit to join the CF, do i need to give up my British Citizenship? Is Dual acceptable? The training i receive over here will that count?.. i have heard many stories.. and the recruiters here arn't too keen on giving info that would lose them soldiers.

Any information is much appriciated

You will need to be a full Canadian citizen to join the regular force.

Ya, i guess its too bad for ya. I never thought id here of a Brit wanting to join the CF. I do agree, Canada is the most beautiful place to live and British Columbia is the best province in canada (no snow yet so far.)

hmm... I'm friends with a guy who was in the british army and is now serving with PPCLI. He was a dual citizen when he was in the reserves, but had to give up his dual citizenship to serve in the regs. I gotta disagree with you though, Alberta is the best province in Canada (and it's snowing right now)!

Nope. Ontario is.

We get all the money.

Well, actually, cant experience the ocean in alberta. The ocean is a necessity. Christ, i just walk 2 streets from by house and catch salmon off the beach. I go crabbing early in the morning in the bay. ski hill is only 1 hour away. as i do all these activities, i can wear a T-shirt and not die of hypothermia.

But Wes Oz has a age limit on immigration and I believe it's 35 or so single and 40 with familiy?
Don't quote me but somthing rings a bell about the subject.
Same as going over as a retiree,you must have a min. of $500,000 in assets?

I think its when you hit 40 things change a bit (loose points on the immigration system). Last I heard the ADF will take ya's 17-35, or up to 42 with previous mil experience.

That must have just changed in the last year or so.

You can live in the rockies and have some of the best skiing in the world still within the Alberta border. Alberta also has some of the greatest lakes too. We also have our oilsands and no more debt!  ;D
