How about doing a search first, there are at least a couple of topics on this.

EDITED TO ADD:

Try this:

FIRST OFF - Do you meet the 3 CRITERIA to join the Canadian Forces?


First:
  Are you a Canadian Citizen?

          You MUST be a Canadian Citizen.

          If you are not, then you must attain your Canadian Citizenship first.

Second:
  Do you meet the AGE requirements?

          You must be 16 years of age to join the Primary Reserves, and have Parental Consent.

          You must be 17 years of age to join the Regular Forces, and have Parental Consent.

          Age of Majority is 18 years of age, and you can join without Parental Consent after your eighteenth birthday, not before.

          You must be able to complete BMQ, SQ and Trades Training before Compulsory Retirement Age.

Third: 
  Do you meet the EDUCATION requirements?

          These will vary from Province to Province and for what "Entry Plan" you are applying for.  In Ontario, for example, it is Grade 10 (Quebec Secondary III) is the minimum to join the Primary Reserves.  Visit your local CFRC to find out what your Provincial requirements are.  It is highly recommended that if you want to make the CF a full-time career, you graduate from High School with a diploma.


You can get more information from your CFRC:

To summarize. Welcome to Army.ca, start reading.

 
To join the army, visit your nearest recruitment center. If you live out of town, then you will have to stay yourself, but they reimburse you. I think. Fill out an application, dig out your entire history that you want to put on the application, answer the interviewer's questions, but before you do all this, try to work out, until you meet the physical requirement standards. You don't need to be in shape to be selected, as the recruiter said to me, I was way out of shape. now I am well shape.

Anyhow, if you take drugs, get off them. They will do a Urine test. and ask you questions.
