Doesn't anyone care Dion has dual nationality?

I can not find a link that requires military members too give up there citizenship. When I was in the Reserves we had an American citizen, an Australian and a New Zealander all involved in the Canadian Military.

Presumably, recruits have to declare their citizenship on their application forms. In my experience, I have never seen an application for employment that asks applicants if they have a dual citizenship. Usually, the question is are you a Canadian citizen.

I've never looked for a link stating that, I don't have to. I was a dual citizen, British/Canadian, then I joined and was required to renounce the dual citizenship. Are you implying that I gave it up just for fun? Or because I thought it was a good idea at the time?

You can apply if you are not a citizen of Canada. It seems odd that you would have to give up dual Citizenship.

That may be so, but you still have to renounce your dual citizenship to be accepted. Why is it odd to want a clearly stated loyalty from members, if anything it makes perfect sense.

Perhaps it is a rule of your regiment them?

My Grandfather is Irish/ Canadian dual... served in the military for 15 years...

My Father in law is Scottish/ Canadian dual.... served 5 years I think? (He rambles, don't know the exact number)
