You can join the military IF you have a Green Card.

This is right of the US Army (army.mil) website:

"I am not a U.S. citizen, but I want to join your Armed Forces. How may I do this? Enlistment into any branch of the U.S. military, by citizens of countries other than the United States is limited to those foreign nationals who are legally residing in the United States and possess a Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services Alien Registration Card (INS Form I-151/551 - commonly known as a "Green Card"). Applicants must be between 17 and 35; meet the mental, moral, and physical standards for enlistment; and must speak, read and write English fluently.

The U.S. military branches cannot assist foreign nationals in obtaining admittance into the United States. Questions concerning immigration to the United States should be asked of the U.S. Embassy. Only after immigration procedures are completed and an applicant is legally residing in the United States may an application for enlistment be accepted.

The U.S. Government agency which is responsible for immigration and naturalization is the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services within the Department of Homeland Security."

I am also sending you the link to the VISA website, you can apply for everything on-line.

Hope this Helps!! Good Luck!!

The President signed an order that on day one of active duty you can become a citizen. If you have a green card you can join.

You're better off staying in Canada. You have health care and a job, if you come here to the US, you won't have health care or a job just like MILLIONS of other Americans.
