Are those of us who served but didn't serve in combat be eligible since it's VFW or is this only reserved for its members?
Is this restricted to honorable service or are those who messed up and got a General, OTH or BC discharge welcome to apply?
Is the VFW going to help push the paperwork or help pay for getting a passport?
Do vets even need a passport to get hired to begin with?
Too many unknowns unreported in this article.
Enquiring minds wanna know. I wanna know. Couldn’t resist the old National Enquirer.
Why not ask your questions of someone who will answer them for you philman_36? ?
Such as the VFW or the Edmonton Economic Development Corporation.

Is the VFW going to help push the paperwork or help pay for getting a passport?
No, the VFW is advertising the openings through VetJobs (www.vetjobs.com), a military job board in which they own 10%. VetJobs purpose over the last 13 years has been to get veterans, their spouses and children qulaity employment.
Do vets even need a passport to get hired to begin with?
You can visit Canada on your drivers license or a military ID card, but to stay and work I believe you need a visa.

Usually the foreign employer takes care of those things. A Vet should not need much more than their DD214 (Honorable) and a passport. I’m sure you can acquire both. The passport takes about two weeks. DD214s can be obtained online.
Why Vets? Just consider the working conditions and lack of supervision. A labor pool which will get to work on time, refrain from drugs, have team focus and discipline and aversion to crime is invaluable in the back country.
