Different countries have different processing times. But generally you will have to show that you advertised the position and couldn't find a Canadian to do the job. He'll have to apply for a work permit with your job offer. The High Commission will evaluate the application and then he will have to pass a medical before he is allowed into the country.

I hope that helps! The faster you get started with this the better. Canadian bureaucrats are REALLY slow:/
