It’s currently legal for Canadians to join the Israeli military, as the Foreign Enlistment Act only prohibits citizens from fighting for non-state forces, designated terrorist organizations and militaries of states at war with an ally.
That’s interesting. I have several citizenships - sadly not Canada - and the laws of all of them basically say you can’t serve in another country’s military or you lose your citizenship. The only sorts of exceptions I’m aware of are along the lines of, if NATO is attacked you can serve in another NATO member’s army in a defensive war, sort of thing.
Any person who, within Canada, recruits or otherwise induces any person or body of persons to enlist or to accept any commission or engagement in the armed forces of any foreign state or other armed forces operating in that state is guilty of an offence

That applies to the recruiter while in Canada, that does not pertain to the one being recruited.
That makes sense. No recruiting for foreign military in Canada.
