If you are willing to spend a year in Montreal, there are two english cooking schools. P.A.C.C. aka Riverside tech. and Pius. I have just finished the professional cooking program at Riverside. The whole cost for my year was roughly 450$ that included books, equipment, and my whites. Impossible you say not when it's a government program. You pay the 450$ the government shells out 12000$. In Montreal the school districts are broken up into boards. the school board that is in charge of the english tech, is the Pearson school board. I'm pretty sure they have a web site. Anyway the program is broken up into moduals, the same moduals that you need to uptain a red seal. The teachers are from all over the country, and for the most part very good (you can't like everyone). The classes are usually 18 to 20 students. You can go either during the day, 8:00am to 4:00pm or night 3:00pm to 10:00pm. Rent in Montreal is on the rise but no where near TO. Well hope this helped.
