Even if the students manage to switch to a public high school, they have another difficult hurdle to get by: There are only two colleges and universities in all of British Columbia. The University of British Columbia doesn't accept foreign students as undergraduates at all unless they've obtained an immigration visa, and Simon Fraser University has a quota for foreign students of just 4.5 percent.
即使後來想盡辦法轉進了公立高中，小留學生還有一道難過的關：卑詩省只有二所大學，而其中不列顛．哥倫比亞大學的大學部不收外籍學生（辦妥移民者方可申請）、西蒙菲沙大學給外國學生的名額只有百分之四．五。
