Typically, no. The Canadian Forces are limited to Canadian citizens, unless a foreign national residing in Canada possesses certain skill sets which the Canadian Forces are in need of badly enough to permit a foreigner into the ranks.

Become a Canadian citizen. Not trying to be crass here, it's just the option you're limited to. Unlike the UK, which allows citizens of all Commonwealth countries (and Ireland) join its military, such a policy doesn't exist with the Canadian Forces (technically, there is no Canadian Army - their entire military is a single branch).

When I was in the Canadian Army 10 years ago, there were 5 branches. I have met a few Brits and an Australian who were members of the Canadian Forces. It was easier for them to do so because they were from Commonwealth countries so background check can be done. They still had to become Canadian citizens and have completed high school with College and or university as a definate asset. No criminal record either. For non-commonwealth people, you would have to have citizenship for at least 10 years, same education, no criminal record. And a lot of luck. I suspect, with the military and the world state being what it is, it would be even harder to get in if not impossible.

No. If you have a mohawk, they will shave you bald. If your hair is normal civilian length or longer, then they will give you the typical high-and-tight cut. Don't do anything to your hair before hand except wash it. They will smoke you if you do. Again, they will shave your head for you at basic. Just deal with your beard or mustache if you have one.

The Canadian navy made many contributions to the battle of the Atlantic. Canada's navy had an enormous effect on the success of Operation Overlord (D-Day). They bombarded Hitler's Atlantic wall for hours before the landings, helping pave the way for the liberation of Europe.

Early on, the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) was a small-scale force, made up of Corvettes, Patrol boats and Destroyers. Their main job was escorting ship convoys across the Atlantic Ocean to Britain. The navy and the convoys would be constantly pestered by the German U-Boats, something which would come to be known as The Battle of the Atlantic. It was both the longest, and arguably the most important battle of World War II. Had the Germans succeeded in destroying the allied shipping, the British would have been starved into submission from lack of supplies.

At the beginning of the war the RCN had only six ships and about 3,000 sailors, but by the end of the war it was the third largest navy in the world, with over 400 ships and 125,000 men. The RCN sank the largest number of U boats in the Atlantic and was the best antisubmarine group in the world.

However, the Royal Canadian Navy's operations aren't limited only to the battle of the Atlantic. Canadian ships were also present in the pacific theater of war, contributing greatly to the joint US-Canadian effort to secure the Aleutian Islands and by extension the Western seaboard of the North American continent. The RCN was involved in the Mediterranean as well, being a major participant in the invasions of Sicily and Italy.

Canadians have NEVER STARTED a war, but they have ended quite a few, thru their ability to fight. Since the 1950's the political direction, from the Govenment of Canada, has been to stress a non-aggressive posture for the Canadian Forces, with most training being focused on rapid deployment of small units that can act as peacekeepers, interposed between two armed factions, such as in Cyprus, or Egypt. As a middle sized power, not a super power, Canada leads the way in diplomatic ways of de-fusing international conflicts. By being persuasive and offering to step in to bring peace, Canada has developed a international reputation as a " friend to all ". The result is that in most places in the world, Canadians are well regarded, and are welcome to visit.

In the Canadian Forces, there are about 12 people at this grade, but this would include the Navy, Army, and Air Force.

If the CF's composition is about 40% army, then usually it means 4 to 6 people out of the 12 will be Army Lieutenant-Generals. The "Chief of the Land Staff" (i.e. senior army officer) also holds this rank. The rest of the Lieutenant-Generals usually hold various senior staff positions for the CF in general.

Yes, and No. A Canadian who is only a Canadian citizen cannot. You must become a US citizen first. There are cases with other US Special Forces where they will waive the citizen requirement for Canadian and some other friendly countries, the SEALs unfortunately are not one of them. So there is not an easy way to become a SEAL or have the chance to become a SEAL without being a citizen. This is from the SEAL website where the requirement is:

"U.S. Citizen (Not waiverable)"

However, you may be interested in the Canadian Special Forces, such as our Tier-1 Special Force unit(Equivalent to UK SAS, US Delta) Joint Task Force 2(JTF-2) or the new regiment being start Canadian Special Operations Regiment (CSOR). JTF2 is a world-renowned but high secretive unit, and like the SEALs undergo many secret operations such as actions in Iraq and other places where our conviential forces are not in operation or not welcome.

CSOR is a new unit started in 2006, still not sure what they are going to become, its still pretty much up in the air. However those are some options for you in Canada that are open and perform roughly similar duties as SEALs(Unconvential Warfare, Direct Action, etc) but for Canadians.
