Am I a draft dodger from Vietnam if I as a Canadian on an immigration visa I went to England when I received a draft notice?
Canada sent no men to Vietnam. Other than individual Canadians which crossed into the US and enlisted into the US Army/Marines. Several Canadians were killed in Vietnam while serving with the US Army/Marines. If any man receives a draft notice from his nation, and he ignores that notice; he's a draft dodger.

No . Lincoln was never subject to a military draft and surely did not pay to avoid one. He did volunteer to fight in the Blackhawk War but his unit did not see any action.
How can you use the word draft in a history sentence?
Any important document historically has a rough draft; and sometimes, several. Abolishing the draft during the Vietnam War era is an important part of my family history.
Should the US government be allowed to draft Americans to a foreign conflict involving Vietnam that was never declared a war by congress?
Certainly. The US Civil War (War of the Rebellion) 1861-1865 was not a declared war by congress, and THAT WAS THE US FIRST MILITARY DRAFT! What makes Vietnam any different from that?
Who are the Vietnam draft dodgers?
Able bodied males between 18 and above (late twenties, based upon the needs of the service); by far, the vast majority of draft dodgers were simply males that were afraid of the military. They often said it, "...if I didn't have to go thru boot camp...I'd go! (to Vietnam)." But it was FAR more honorable to tell people that you, "...didn't believe in the war..." than to admit you were just plain scared (of the army).
What is a suitable punishment for draft evasion?
Federal Prison will suffice; over 4,000 men were imprisoned for evading the draft during the Vietnam War. ---------------------- IMHO, revocation of citizenship and a one way ticket to any country of their choice.
Did James Dean the actor have any military service?
No. They say that he avoided military draft by saying that he was gay. Which was seen as a disease back then. I don;t know if this is true, but he did avoid military draft.
Should Vietnam draft evaders have been pardoned?
The Vietnam War produced 170,000 conscientious objecters; 22,000 draft dodgers indicted; over 8,000 men convicted; and approximately 4,000 of them imprisoned. If the remaining hundreds of thousands of men weren't pardoned, there wouldn't be any room left in our prisons for other criminals. Economics said yes, pardon them.
What is the meaning of demand draft and normal draft?

How could people avoid the civil war draft?
He could get up $300, a substantial sum at the time ( my guess this was donated to the Department of the Army) or (Buy) a qualified substitute. It is not known what the service obligation of the substitute was- it could be say, 24 months, or possibly for the duration of the war.
What was true about the end of the Vietnam War?
At the end of the Vietnam War, Congress refused to support South Vietnam any longer.
