I don‘t think you need UK citizenship to serve in the Royal marines, since Canada is a commonwealth country. There would be restrictions on what trade, but you be able to serve in some capacity.
An even greater capacity if you are a dual citizen of England and Canada, either way you can retain your Canadian citizenship.
As for the US, i can‘t really speak on since I don‘t know the requirements for being a US Marine.
The hassles were probably created to prevent someone from serving without having any ties to the country they serve, other then who puts the paycheque in the bank. I suppose someone is more likely to fight harder and longer if they are serving their own country, hence the patriotic, albeit brief, class in Basic training. If someone serves a foreign army without being a citizen of that country and having the inherent patriotic ties to said country, then they are really no more then mercenaries or auxiliary troops serving a foreign power for a paycheque.
This is simply speculation, but I can see no other reason besides the obvious security reasons which are less philosophical and more tangible.
