[Just For Fun] Two Citizenship Countries at War - What Happens?

[Bigudi]

So... I know the situation cannot happen, and I know I would never be called to the military because of conflict of interest. But, just for the sake of the legal exercise, here is my hypothetical scenario:

My County of origin requires all male to enlist to the military at the age of 18. After that we become part of the military reserve. If the county goes to war, I can be drafted at any moment.
Now I am also a Canadian citizen, and as I understand, in times of desperate need, Canada can also draft people to the military.
What would happen if Canada and my country of origin went to war against each other and BOTH drafted me to the military? How this situation would be resolved? Is the Country I take residence the one who will have me? Would I have a choice?

You're gonna be chased by both countries and accused of being a traitor. Put in jail, tortured..and.... well I have no clue And seems not many people are having a clue either as no one is answering

Congrats of becoming a canadian now... let's hope my Oath invite comes soon.

Not sure.

All I know is that back in 2013, a conservative MP introduced Bill C-425 which said that a Canadian dual citizen "is deemed to have made an application for renunciation of their Canadian citizenship if they engage in an act of war against the Canadian Armed Forces."

That bill is now dead, so it's not clear to me what would happen. I imagine though, that once you decide to enlist with one over the other, you've effectively revoked the latter's citizenship. What a terrible situation to be put into...

Yes, that much is clear enough. But my doubt is about that part here:

once you decide to enlist with one over the other

I mean... is it my decision? Is it imposed by some kind of rule?

1. The OP should check what happened in the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Canadian citizens and residents (well there wasn't really Canadian citizens until 1947) who were citizens of the "enemy" country were interned for the duration. The Japanese citizens were relocated from the West coast and their property seized, some who were 3rd and 4th generation citizens. The same happened to other nationalities who were interned in camps. In World War I, 8,579 male "aliens of enemy nationality" were interned, including 5,954 Austro-Hungarians, including ethnic Ukrainians, Croats, and Serbs

Yeah... I remember that. That actually makes a lot of sense. I hope they have nice accommodations for me. ;D
