Foreign army service

[bublifbuk]

Hi, years ago I served in European country where service in army was obligatory for every man 18 yrs. old. Last couple years they have professional army (member of NATO). All former soldiers were released but officially they are back-up (or reserve). I am living in Canada a couple years. May I apply for position of officer (chaplain) in CF?

Your foreign service is not the major hurdle.  You must first meet the criteria to join the Canadian Armed Forces.

1.  Be eighteen or older ( It sounds like you have that ):
2.  Do you have the education; and
3.  Are you a Canadian Citizen?

May I ask which country you served in?

He used to be a driver, now he's going for Champlain.

It's for the best he's probably used to driving on the other side of the road.  >

I don't think the CF has a need for 17th Century French explorers.
