Unless things have changed since July 2001 (when I moved back to the US), members of CF bands must be Canadian citizens.

Does anyone know if that is true or not?

Hi!

Yes, that's true. You must be a canadian citizen to enlist in the canadian forces.

I can just see the application now:

Are you a Canadian citizen?
A) Yes
B) No
C) Eh?

(This is a trick question, the only correct answer is C)

Marty (who never understood the Eh? thing until his brother-in-law married a girl from Ottawa several years ago.)
