Oh, to dream...  |
If he enrolled in French Immersion and gave a shit about school he could certainly reach bilingual status by graduation. When I went through FI we didn't automatically receive official bilingual status, although we were well-prepared to take the exam if we wanted to. Most of my teachers seemed to think official status wasn't actually that important, although it's possible that they were downplaying its importance because my high school was the kind of place where a lot of students couldn't necessarily afford to take the exam.
