Yes, a Canadian can become a U.S. Army Ranger, but they must first enlist in the U.S. Army. As a non-U.S. citizen, they would need to meet specific eligibility requirements, including legal residency in the U.S. and security clearance. Once enlisted, they can attend Ranger School after completing basic training and advanced individual training. However, the process can be competitive and requires meeting all Army standards.
The US Army's 75th Ranger Regiment and US Army Special Forces are both part of the US Army Special Operations Command. Though their organizations are different, reflecting the different types of missions that they are expected to execute.
You can be Ranger qualified, and be in any component. However, the Ranger battalions are active duty units, and there are no Ranger units in the Army Reserve or National Guard.

If you earned your Ranger tab on active duty prior to joining the Army Reserve, you will still continue to be Ranger qualified. If you are simply serving in the US Army Reserve and intent to be sent to Ranger school from your Reserve unit, your chances are slim to none, and you would be better off to join the National Guard and try to get into a Special Forces unit of the National Guard. If you are looking to serve in a Ranger unit of the US Army Reserve, then this will be impossible, as there are no such units in the Army Reserve. The US Army Reserve is composed of training and support units, with all combat arms relegated to the Regular Army and Army National Guard. The one exception to this is the 100th Battalion, 442nd Infantry Regiment, which is an infantry battalion of the US Army Reserve, which is composed of reservists from Hawaii, American Samoa, Saipan, and Guam.
The Best Ranger competition is held every year at Fort Benning. The competition started in July of 1981 to find the best two man ranger team in the army.

I was in SF in the eighties and a bunch of the guys came over from the Ranger Battalions. Also, there are a lot of Infantry units throughout the Army that send some of their people to Ranger School.
dog tagsI love my soldier. My husband is A Ranger!
No. The Army won't even take you as a diabetic, let alone allow you to serve in the Ranger Regiment.
