My boyfriend is American. Can he get Canadian status when we get married?
Find answers to your legal question.

what are the procedures for him to become a Canadian citizen and how long does this process take?

Marrying you will not make him a Canadian citizen. He must first be petitioned by you as a spouse. After that he will be allowed to immigrate into Canada and given status as permanent resident.**(10 months approx.)

Yes he can, provided that he meets the basic requirements under the Canadian Laws. You will both have to cohabitate for several years and he will also have to pass a background check to include both police(city/province) and federal.
