Replying to Art Colleges Near Whistler/Vancouver

Hey all, I live in the states, but my entire life have tried to make it to BC to live, because I think it's just beautiful. I am trying to get a BFA (BA in fine arts) for graphic design. What colleges are around Vancouver or Whistler that would be good or offer this program?
Also, I know it is difficult for Americans especially to work/live in Canada, what about attending college? Is it difficult to get in?
ANY information would be awesome!
