if someone is a citizen in the USA and moves to a different country and becomes a citizen there, would they still be involved in the draft

I have dual citizenship. (Sorry, John, you're wrong.)
Think the other brilliant people answered you beautifully. Do you really want to give up your US citizenship?

Yes; unless they relinquish U.S. citizenship, they are still subject to any draft that might be authorized by Congress. At present, while the Selective Service exists and young men have to register for the draft, there is no ongoing draft.

If they move to another country then to not become involved in a draft they have to give up their U.S. citizenship of which you can do but you also give up your Social Security benefits.

No, the US does not accept dual citizenship. When they become a citizen of another country, they loose their US citizenship and so are no longer eligible for the draft.

Planning a trip to Canada eh? I wouldn't worry too much about the draft. I tried to enlist and couldn't get in because I was on Ritalin as a child. I doubt they are close to draft when they aren't letting people enlist right now.

Yes and you could technically be drafted by the other nation you have citizenship with.
Now if you renounce your American citizenship, you cannot be drafted.
