Very interesting. I have applied to the CF for the pilot program and am sick of working crappy 9-5's to pass the time, waiting for "the call"/ the next step in the application process. I know the pilot program is in high demand but as a Canadian citizen I've considered applying to the Commonwealth British and Australian air force. I love my country, but I love the idea of being a Pilot for the next 25 years than working a 12 hour nightshift at Walmart waiting for the call, if it means I serve for another country. Any thoughts?

Nevermind - Blackadder beat me to the punch.
 
You can always join the French Foreign a Legion though and fly a mop and broom for a living  ;D
 
Hi Gents I'm looking for some advice, I'm currently a Sgt in the British Army and I'm looking to move over to Canada and settle there for the rest of my life, but also wanting to join the CA, is it possible to transfer?

Probably not, as you need to already be a Canadian Citizen just to apply.

You can join the RCMP with PR status, but you have to have lived in Canada for 10 years

Depending on any specializations you have, they may wave that so check.

You have to be a legal resident of the US. I suggest googling it, you'll find the USMC recruiting website in short order and can find out who to contact.
 
You have to immigrate to the US with the USMC as your sponsor. One of my sons checked it out a good number of years ago....they (USMC) were not interested at that time, maybe they are now.

BTW....that is how I enlisted in the MC...but there was a little war going on at the time.... ;D
