Hi Canuck,

In short, yes. Several Canadians have or are serving in the Royal Marines. There are certain procedures that one must go through for Commonwealth citizens to serve in the British Armed Forces.

I would point you to;

You should be able to get the answers to your questions on that site.

Have you considered becoming an Aussie Commando? Better Weather and lifestyle, expanding organisation, get to become a dual citizen....... Only downside part of the army as Australia does not have marines.

Can I turn the question round? I'm currently in the RNR as a CPO(CIS) and will be moving to Canada in the next 6 months. Is there a way I could transfer across to the Canuck Reserves?

I don't know if you could transfer to the Canadian reserve forces, but you can join them. At the moment they are trying to recruit more people into the reserve.
