Two possibilities come to mind:
1 He was a Canadian citizen who happened to be resident in the
US at the time of his enlistment.
2 He was a US citizen who chose to enlist in the Canadian army.
This is more likely if his date of enlistment predates US entry
into the war rather than later.

Thank you Brad S. and Allan W. for you ideas. You have given me a plae to start looking. Now I need to find out if he died in the US or Canada. HE was 22 yrs old in 1945 and died by 1947. Thanks again. [email protected]
