As you have already attended a university, you would apply as a transfer student. This page will help you out with getting the transfer process started, but your previous university will also be able to help you out.
I’m going to have to be a bit of a ball buster for you there. First of all the University of Toronto does not offer an undergraduate degree in ‘Architectural Design’.
They do however offer ‘Architectural Studies‘. Please note in the admissions category that you may only apply to this course after obtaining 4.0 credits, including ARC 131H1 and ARC 132H1 (meaning in second year). Also be aware that this program is competetive, you must have 70% in the two required classes and your CGPA will also be put into consideration. The word on the campus streets is that your CGPA needs to be well over the minimum.
But in addition to that you will have to do another major or 2 minors as requirement for graduation for a Honours BA.
There are universities in Ontario that offer a Bachelor in Architectural design, meaning you won’t have to take another major or minors in addition.
Ultimately whether you have attend U of T for a Major in Architecural Studies or another school for a full Bachelor of Architecture design, you will have to attend Grad school to obtain a masters degree anyways.
I think your first steps are seeing transfer requirements for the school. Contact academic advisers at either your previous university or potential ones and they can look at your specifics and help you out even further
