Canada’s Extremist Government Opens Military Ranks to Foreign Nationals for Fast-Track Immigration

In yet another reckless move by the far-left Liberal government, Canada is now throwing open the doors of its military to foreign nationals, offering them a fast-track path to permanent residency.
Under Prime Minister Mark Carney’s regime, skilled immigrants from around the world can now snag jobs in the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) as doctors, nurses, or even pilots, and get expedited immigration status in return.
Additional reporting indicates applicants may be required to:
- Have extensive prior service in a recognized foreign military
- Secure a multi-year CAF job offer
- Possess post-secondary credentials before being admitted under the program.
Immigration Minister Lena Metlege Diab announced this disastrous policy on Wednesday, touting it as a way to “attract highly skilled foreign military applicants” and “strengthen our armed forces.”
“Finally, we are creating a new category for skilled military recruits to attract highly skilled foreign military applicants. Eligible recruits with a job offer from the Canadian Armed Forces, including doctors, nurses, and pilots, can be invited to apply for permanent residence.
“They will be subject to the same security and military requirements. This new category will support our government’s commitment to strengthen our armed forces, defend our sovereignty, and keep Canadians safe.”
This newly established immigration stream is designed explicitly to attract foreign military talent into Canada’s ranks as the Trudeau-aligned Liberal government pushes to “strengthen” its armed forces.
