There are plenty of colleges in Ontario that offer flight training programs including three that are subsidized by the government.

Confederation College - 2 year program - College diploma
CPL; Float rating (including 24hrs on floats); IFR theory;
Total cost: ~$9000
Aviation Flight Management | Confederation College

Sault College - 3 year program - Advance College diploma
CPL; MIFR;
Total cost: ~$15,0000
Sault College Aviation

Seneca College - 4 year program - Applied Degree
CPL; MIFR; ATPL (exams frozen for 5 years; 750 hr requirement waved);
Total cost: $40,000
FLIGHT PROGRAM DEGREE - Seneca College - Toronto, Canada

All flight training associated with these programs is covered by the Ontario government.

I attended Confederation College several years ago because the program was short. Although it lacks MIFR, I did mine privately and still managed to keep the costs similar to Sault College (but one year less in living expenses). These are competitive programs and require the student to maintain a higher standard but nothing that isn't attainable through some hard work and effort.
