I am a recent graduate from the UofC and would love to become a pilot.
While I do my research I was wondering if anyone here could help out!
I am looking at local flight schools, as well as Aviation Diplomas. It seems like out east the diplomas are covered heavily by the government. But my father has an airplane that I may be able to use and perhaps it would be more beneficial to take a local flight school training program.
I am wondering what you guys recommend given my situation?

What kind of plane does he have?
I would suggest you hire a freelance instructor (one not affiliated with a school-must be class 3 or above) and get your licenses as quick as possible using your father's aircraft.
If you want to go to school in Ontario, I believe that you need to be an Ontario resident.

For the cheaper subsided program price you need to be a resident.

To the best of my knowledge, as long as you are a Canadian Citizen, you are eligible for the Sault College program.

I am in the process of getting my CPL.
You already have a degree so you have that going for you, I would think a diploma program would be overkill and unnecessary, but who am I to say.
You're lucky that your father has a plane, if you could train on it with a freelance instructor you will save big time.
I have also "heard" of insane wait times to even get started on a PPL at any of the schools in Calgary.
If you cannot train on your fathers plane, I might suggest bunking with a relative/friend in a smaller city/town to complete it in a quicker time frame.
