Can a US Army soldier transfer to the Canadian Army?

Answer 1

the Canadian army is far better trained and payed than the American military... i once talked to a marine seargeant who said if we where the same size Canada could take the Americans easily... i agreed....

There is no direct comparison due to population discrepancies . All things being equal, Americans are far more aggressive . This makes Canadians more pleasant to be around, but less effective combatants.

Answer 2

Only if they have Dual Citizenship. The Canadian Forces only accepts Canadian citizens, with few exceptions granted to foreign nationals who may possess a skill which the CF needs badly enough to justify allowing them to enlist.

Answer 3

It depends on your nationality. Obviously any American would say that the USAF is better, and any Canadian would say the CF. I, being a fairly patriotic Canadian, would obviously say the Canadian Forces are better.

It truly depends on which aspect you look at it from. Both have equivalent manpower (the U.S has 1,000,000 soldiers for 350,000,000 citizens and Canada has 100,000 soldiers for 35,000,000 citizens). I would say that equipment wise, the U.S is better equipped (they have Gunships and Nuclear submarines while Canada has tourist helicopters with mounted mini guns). I don't know about the U.S, but being a Canadian who wants to join the military, I can confidently say that any Canadian soldier would happily die for their country. I would say that Canada's army has a better heritage and history, getting it's origins from the British Army. The only time we had a war with the U.S we won without having to fire a single shot (the battle for Detroit during the war of 1812) so I guess they have (or used to have) battle superiority. I hope this answered your question :)

Simple answer, no.
