    they never blocked canadians from joining the idf which is generally prohibited by canadian own laws etc

    Hien? Not sure where this comes from.

    This Foreign Enlistment Act only applies if Canada is at war with a nation. https://lois-laws.justice.gc.ca/eng/acts/F-28/FullText.html

    While no isrealis specifically, I know a handful of dual citizens that have either served their conscription requirements to meet citizenship requirements, or joined the Canadian forces to get their national conscription checked off in lieu.

    I also know one person who volunteered with the Ukrainian foreign legion. Their biggest hurdle was the days in Canada requirements surrounding healthcare access.
