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.

As of March 2025, more than 1,500 Canadian citizens with at least one other nationality were serving in the Israeli military, according to a document from the Israeli government. This figure does not account for Canadian citizens who have yet to acquire Israeli citizenship.
