Hi there, I'm a newbie to the aviation community and am heading off to school with hopes of flying commercially sometime down the road. I have opted to get er' done as quickly as possible and will therefore not be enrolling in a diploma program. I am wondering if anyone knows whether EI will sponser such schooling despite the fact that there is no diploma involved? ....Any suggestions on a cheap route other then buying an airplane would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know about EI, goverment student loans will cover most costs tho. I didnt do a diploma either so there is a bit more of a headache dealing with them since the call centers you'd be dealing with arn't trained on anything but universities it seems, but i eventually got some money, even managed for them to pay for my instructors course.

Totaly depends on your location. Alberta for example is a lost cause if you are not at an acredited college or university.
