This is correct, he would start at Kwantlen(?) and then transfer. UBC is the best option right now as his dad (I'm the stepdad) is in Van and he can live there and work for him in summer to pay tuition.

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.

This is what he's trying to figure out. I'll get him to read this and then maybe we'll have more questions.
Thanks all!
He loves the design/art aspect of the field, and he's extremely talented/smart so I know he can do it if he wants it. We'll see how he likes all the technical aspects.
