The answer is no. If you want to join the US military, you must have the I-551 Card (Green Card), or have attained your citizenship through naturalization. If you are a dual citizen, upon entry into the military, you would have to renounce your other citizenship.

Canada has continually been self sufficient of the U. S.. we've by no ability been a colony of the U. S., nor does the country bounce even as the american authorities says to. Canada is a member of the Commonwealth and that is the position loyalties lie nevertheless. WW1 began in 1914 and that is even as Canada joined. maximum Canadians theory the human beings were Johnny come latelys. Sorry, yet study letters from Canadian infantrymen and that comes by ability of painfully clean. Canada entered WW2 in 1939. again, loyalties were with the Commonwealth, no longer with the U. S.. Canada is self sufficient, has that's own authorities and makes that's own judgements. American politicians might want to flatter themselves Canada listens to them, yet have self belief me, Canadians do exactly their own component.

They may join if they have a US green card or are on a work permit (it will become permanent) or have dual citizenship.
If accepted in the armed forces there might be restrictions on certain rates (jobs) with specific security clearances. Age limit is usually 35. But can be waived. A degree is also better.

I knew a Canadian citizen who joined the US Navy - no problems. I would imagine that your friend would have pass all the same tests (health/psychological, etc) that an US citizen would. In addition, he will probably have to pass a security clearance - to make sure he is not a terrorist trying to infiltrate the US army.

Keep in mind however there is provision in Canadian law for your citzenship to be revoked for joining a foriegn military establishment. As far as I know it is very rarely enforced, but it is there....

While in the U.S. Air Force, I served with a German and a Brit that were both U.S. Airmen with me. Contact a recruiter. They will be more than happy to help you with all the details.
