want to join marines but not a U.S citizen?

Question

Im a candian citizen and want to join the U.S. Marines. What would be the easiest and fastest way get enlisted?

Answer 1

The U.S. Army effectively turned me down as a Canadian, and I have since given up on the idea. If you must find out for yourself, email a U.S. Army cyber recruiter like I did. They will quickly respond by telling you they will take you if you have a Green Card, but by law, the U.S. Army cannot help you get a Green Card.

INS won't just give you a Green Card, and you would have to get one after getting a visa through employer sponsorship, which only can happen if you apply for a job lacking qualified Americans. The Green Card Lottery doesn't apply to Canada because Canada has already sent a lot of immigrants.

When I tried to join the U.S. Army, Canada had had few casualties in Afghanistan, so I could have argued that the U.S. could have used me more. To date, Canada has suffered 71 dead, which proportionately for the U.S. would be like 710 dead, so things have changed. If you want to help both the Canadian troops and the U.S. troops, you should join the Canadian Army and go to Afghanistan.

The British Army does take very small number of recruits from Commonwealth countries like Canada because Canada is still legally attached to Britain because the Queen of England is Canada's head of state.

I also asked 2 Yahoo questions about it which you can refer to.

Answer 2

Go to an enlistment office. Most large cities have them. You will become a US citizen when you enlist. As long as you are a legal immigrant. I don't know what the exact procedure is but an ex-boyfriend was in the same situation and now he is a US citizen.

Answer 3

so as to connect any of america protection rigidity defense force you should first be a U.S. citizen or posess an INS I-151/I-151 "green Card" U.S. electorate or everlasting Resident extraterrestrial beings (people who've an INS I-151/I-551 "green Card") would connect the U.S. protection rigidity. for extra counsel approximately citizenship, bypass to the U.S. Immigration and Nationalization (INS) cyber web website.

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure you just have to apply for citizenship. you don't have to be a citizen, and you don't have to be a resident alien. You can go to www.marines.com and send them an email inquiry.

AND they'll pay you up to $40,000 to do it!!!!

Good luck

added later - whoa there are a LOT of bitter military haters here. Fact is, you DON'T have to be a citizen to join the military, you just have to have applied for citizenship. Don't you haters read or listen to the news? Bush 43 is granting citizenship to all non-citizen soldiers who serve honorably and serve in Iraq or Afganistan. Lots of these people answering your post wouldn't serve in the military even if we were being invaded so don't let them talk you out of what you are thinking about. It's an honorable thing. And now a days, you don't have to give up your Canadian citizenship either (my brother in law and wife hold their US and English passports)

whoa, mean and hateful

Answer 5

When I joined the U.S. Navy years ago, I was one of many who were non-citizens of the U.S. I was never interested in finding out why they took me in. Talk to a recruiter and find out.

Answer 6

The only way to do it is to join the Canadian Marines and apply for a transfer.

Answer 7

I know too many ex military guys couple girls they are all jacked up now they have lots of issues now

Answer 8

call the marines they will set you up right away, actually I am pretty sure that the house wants to make that a law if your not a citizen you can become one if you join the military

Answer 9

Perhaps the best person that will help you here is a recruiter. Good Luck*

Answer 10

Call a recruiter to find out. I would think that you would have to become a US citizen.
