They will pay for it. I'm due to be at BMQ at the end of the month.
This is quoted right out of the package they sent me as I plagerize it from top to bottom of the topic "Travel to CFLRS Saint-Jean".
10. Travel arrangements (tickets, etc.) will be explained to you in these instructions. The Recruiting Centre will give you an "en route form", on which you are to indicate your itinerary. You will also be provided with an itinerary and maps, if necessary. You are to report to CFLRS as follows:
a. Not later than noon on the Monday. This is so that you will be ready to begin your first week of training the next day;
b. recruits arriving at Dorval Airport must take the military bus that will transport them to CFLRS Saint-Jean. If there is no military bus at Dorval Airport, you must check with CFLRS at (450) 358-7099, extention 6082 or 7229. They will give you the bus schedule or authorize you to take a taxi. The Appropriate fare for the trip from Dorval to Saint-Jean of from Place Bonaventure to Saint-Jean is $90.00;
c. recruits travelling by bus are to disembark at the Place Bonaventure station in Montreal. From there, they are to take the Service bus, which departs the Berri-UQAM station to CFLRS Saint-Jean. The schedule of the service bus is the same as in paragraph b.;

(1) the name of the vehicle owner; and

g. recruits who have transportation problems may contact CFLRS Saint-Jean at the following number: (450) 358-7099 extention 6082 or 7229.

This, however, doesn't explain if you need to pay for your ticket and the answer is no. This is also part of the Enrollment and final briefing where this will all be explained. The way it was explained to me (during the interview) was that the taxi ride to the airport will be reimursable, the plane ticket, to Dorval Airport, is an all exclusive paid one-way ticket. By the looks of it you may need $200 dollars. $90 dollars for a taxi ride from Dorval to Saint-Jean if approved and getting there doesn't fit the bus schedule and another $100 for contingencies.
I hope this helps for funds are tight this way too.
Cheers!!
