I agree with those who write to you that it may not be the best investment at this stage. Save your money for a while, get a job, and then offer to match funds with your employer if they'll send you on the course.

I agree with the first part, not the second...

Don't pay for type training or offer to pay an employer for training - ever.

I know a lot of the Asian / European pilots on this board do that in their locales to get an edge on the job market - and it is getting worse and worse. In Canada you will not be doing yourself or the industry any favours. Good employers will look down on you for having done it as will your fellow pilots for cheapening us all...
