    Hey there!

    Aviation is many things, but cheap is not one of them. However, in Canada, there are specific paths designed for people with the drive but without the finances.

    Flair Airlines / Genesis Flight College have an Integrated Cadet Program. It’s designed for people with zero experience. Jazz Aviation Pathways has partnerships with many Canadian colleges that I believe offer scholarships and a direct job flow, which makes getting a bank loan much easier.

    If you are under 19 every year, the Air Cadets send hundreds of young Canadians to flight school for seven weeks in the summer, they pay for everything and you get a PPL!

    Have you tried the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association? They offer several scholarships every year.

    Best of luck!

    Chloe
