Yes you do have to be Canadian in order to apply to get into the CF. As far as RAF vs CF well that would depend on what you want and also lifestyle. Yes the CF is underfunded but it has been that way for years and it is still here. The RAF just took a kick in the goolees with a very large drop in numbers. Overall, I think you would be happy in either one but in Canada you could have your house paid off before your kids retire and afford to drive your car further than the end of your driveway.
