I could probably get Leo permanent residency status to Canada, but it'd be a 2 - 3 year process. Don't think I will bother, as PR status requires us to reside in Canada 2 out of every 5 years, and I can't promise we'll do that. If we don't, the PR status get voided.
Then after gaining PR status, and after residing in Canada for another 5 years, he can apply for citizenship, but that's probably another 2 year process (not sure). That means all in, we'd be looking at a 10 year process to obtain him Canadian citizenship.
