What can we say? You reap what you sow.......If you insist on taking this track, expect to be treated accordingly. We know nothing of your "TI" nor your position of "modest authority" so we will treat you as one of several things: a Cadet outside of his Lanes, a Gamer on the wrong Forum, a JTFNinjaSniperWannabe, a Civie, or perhaps just a Troll. You insist on providing no credentials, and we treat you as having none. If that is hostile, then that is the way you have asked to be treated. Not our problem.

Yeah, at one time in the reserves you could be a landed immigrant. One time one of my guys asked me if he could wear his DEUs to his citizenship ceremony to which the OC replied "Sure, at least you won't be a greasy foreigner anymore"
It wasn't a bad policy. I had a couple of Africans with oustanding stalking and bushcraft abilities, but needless to say their first winter was... interesting. The problem is background checks from countries with little to no infrastructure and/or ones that require baksheesh to answer any inquiry from the civil servants. Another real problem, which goes to backgrounds, is people with previous foreign service in countries well-known for human rights abuses. Obviously there is other problems post-9/11 but I think that overall we are hurting ourselves by not letting landed immigrants apply, I get approached by them quite a bit at public recruiting displays.

For Regular Force you have to be a Canadian Citizen; I think its the same for the Reserves(since a few years ago?) but I'm not positive.
For 100% accurate and up to date info I'd check out www.forces.ca and email a recruiter.

Citizens of another country who have landed immigrant (Permanent Resident) status in Canada may also be considered for enrolment

For the Reserves(I think they require citizenship though)? Or is this the special skill thing? Do you know that you have a special skill? And do you want to be employed in that?

You're right.
Citizens of another country who have landed immigrant (Permanent Resident) status in Canada may also be considered for enrolment.
The thing is that your security verification during the enrolment process is going to be much longer because they are going to check everything x 2. Your Life here in Canada and your life in USA. Criminal file, where were you living, etc...

Sorry you are wrong dude,
Basic Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for consideration for the Canadian Forces, you must meet the following minimal conditions:
be a Canadian citizen;
Citizens of another country who have landed immigrant (Permanent Resident) status in Canada may also be considered for enrolment when the CF has need of their skill, when the position cannot be filled by a Canadian citizen, and if the national interest would not be prejudiced. However, only under exceptional circumstances will authority be granted to enrol a citizen of another country.
be 17 years of age (with parental/guardian consent) or older;
junior level Military College applicants must be 16 years of age;
you may be enrolled in the Reserves providing you are 16 years of age;
meet the minimum education requirements for your entry plan and/or occupation;
this can vary from Grade 10 (Sec III in Quebec) for combat arms occupations to a university degree for the Direct Entry Officer entry plan.
What special skills do you have that they would require? And for what it is worth the site is not down at this time.
