Canadian Forces

I've been trying to do some research about joining the CF but it's getting confusing. I was hoping someone here has been through the experience :S

So basically what I know is that when you enlist you have to go through some sort of training in the summer? But how long is this? Also I've heard you owe them 2 years/ every year of schooling they pay for. But do you get paid while you're doing your commitment? So basically if I signed on now I'd owe them 6 years and that means I won't see friends/family for 6 years?

I dunno I thought this would be a good opportunity since I don't have to take summer courses (all i really do is work anyways) like the rest of my classmates and I've always been interested in the military also I'm really broke from school (LOL). I'll talk to the recruiter probably in the beginning of the school year but I wanted to come here for a more honest opinion.

Thanks
