Some soldiers of the coalition forces have refused to participate in the Iraq War. The following is a list of the more notable military personnel who have refused to participate in the Iraq War, broadly categorized by the reasons they themselves give.

Objectors who moved to Canada

{{Main|Iraq War resisters in Canada}}

=Legal and political=

Pursuant to the Treaty between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America on Mutual Legal assistance in Criminal Matters, US authorities can request Canadian authorities to identify, locate, and take into custody of US nationals who have committed a crime that carries a possible sentence of more than a year[http://www.lexum.umontreal.ca/ca_us/en/cts.1990.19.en.html "Treaty between the Government of Canada and the Government of the United States of America on Mutual Legal assistance in Criminal Matters"]. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050205153044/http://www.lexum.umontreal.ca/ca_us/en/cts.1990.19.en.html |date=February 5, 2005 }} and subsequently extradite them back to US, pursuant to Extradition Treaty Between the United States of America and Canada.{{Cite web |url=https://web.oas.org/mla/en/Treaties_B/can_ext_bil_usa3_en.pdf |title=Extradition Treaty Between the United States of America and Canada |access-date=2021-02-16 |archive-date=2021-05-08 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210508052839/https://web.oas.org/mla/en/Treaties_B/can_ext_bil_usa3_en.pdf |url-status=dead }} However, the government of the United States must promise those extradited will not receive the death penalty, in accordance with the ruling of United States v. Burns from the Supreme Court of Canada.

Because of the possibility that deserters have been issued with arrest warrants back in the United States and pursuant to those two agreements above, they are liable for arrest in Canada unless they legalize their status. This can be done by pursuing a refugee claim, about which the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada (IRB) will hold a hearing and determine the validity of the claim. If refused, the claimant can appeal to the Federal Court, Federal Court of Appeal, and finally the Supreme Court of Canada, if leave is granted.

However, if the refugee claim is refused and subsequent appeals do not overturn the decision made by IRB, the claimant must leave Canada within 30 days under a removal order.[http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/refugees/inside/apply-after.asp The refugee system: Refugee claims in Canada – after applying] If the claimant does not leave Canada within 30 days or failed to confirm departure details with Canada Border Services Agency, it automatically becomes a deportation order, enforceable by any peace officer in Canada.{{cite book |author=Government of Canada |year=2002 |title=You Asked about ... immigration and citizenship|publisher=Queen's Printer for Canada |page=66|isbn=0-662-66679-8}}
