Are Dual Citizens Subject to Military Call-up

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

In the Selective Service facts they state that citizens living in some countries may be exempt from induction but they do not state the countries, nor have they responded to my email and phone inquiries, so I would to know if a Canadian citizen living in Canada at the time of a draft would be exempt. My son is a citizen of the USA and Canada. I know he has to register for SS, but is he exempt from induction if or when the US has a draft. I could not find this info on the government website.

An alien who has lived in the U.S. for less than one year is exempt from induction. A dual national whose other country of nationality has an agreement with the U.S. which specifically provides for an exemption is exempt from induction. [Some countries have agreements with the U.S. which exempt an alien national who is a citizen of both that country and the U.S. from military service in the U.S. Armed Forces.] An alien who requests and is exempt under an agreement or bilateral treaty can never become a U.S. citizen, and may have trouble reentering the U.S. if he leaves. An alien who served at least a year in the military of a country with which the U.S. is involved in mutual defense activities will be exempt from military service if he is a national of a country that grants reciprocal privileges to citizens of the U.S. During a draft, any claims for exemptions based on any of the above categories would be granted or denied by a man’s Local Board. Military examiners make the final decision about who will be accepted into the military.”
