It becomes easier to get the canadian citizenship through military service
Even immigrants, regardless of experience, can join the Canadian Army.
The Canadian government is expanding the range of applicants to the armed forces. Previously, foreign nationals could only apply for service if they had military training and relevant qualifications in foreign armed forces.
Canada's Department of National Defence has said it is ready to help immigrants with permanent residency obtain citizenship. Immigration authorities will prioritize citizenship applications from members of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) and they will be processed on a priority basis.
