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.
