Well for the CF, you go to RMC (Royal Miltary College) in Kingston. They cover your tuition, books, equip, uniforms and whatever else is needed for your course. You get payed as a officer cadet but have to pay for housing (you have to live on campus)and food, and your medical and dental is covered as well. But you have to spend a min. of 5 years in the reg force.


Best thing to do is contact the recruiting office and they could explain it better and cover things i may not have.

Here's the Calgary info:

CFRC Calgary
Suite 245, 220-4th Ave SE
Calgary, AB
T2G 4X3

Phone : (403) 974-2920

Telus does. haha.

Know lots of people in the dept I was in (Technology and Operations) whom went and got their CCNA, CCNP, CCNE, MCSE, C++ stuff like that on the companies dime. Basiclly, most large companies will pay your way if you're taking something that relates to being a benefit to the company.

Pratt and Whitney (manufacture Turbofan engines) will pay your tuition, even in a course completely unrelated to your work there.

Convergys (*shudder*, never work there) will pay $1500 per year. However the courses that qualify are completely subject to their discretion, so pretty much only computer courses.
