If he's going to UBC to do architecture he should consider a Bachelor in Environmental Design from there. It's a 3rd year entry program so as long as he gets the prerequisites (English and Geography IIRC) he can study whatever he wants in the first 2 years and then do the Environmental Design in his 3rd and 4th years. Doing that will allow him advanced standing in the M. Arch program which will make it a little shorter than the 7.5 years it'd take with an unrelated bachelors degree.
As mentioned above there are a few schools in Ontario and Quebec with Bachelor of Architecture programs, but unless I'm mistaken they are non-professional programs and a M. Arch is still required on top of that in order to become accredited.
