You may want to consider getting married and applying for his immigrant visa (permanent residence).
You may apply information on the process and my services here:

Generally, if a person marries a U.S. citizen, the U.S. citizen spouse can petition them for U.S. permanent residence. However, there are other potential issues involved in your case, such as immigrant intent, your ability to meet the income requirements for the affidavit of support, whether he applies for the immigrant visa at the U.S. Embassy in Canada or adjusts status in the U.S., etc.
You can obtain more information on the USCIS website (www.uscis.gov) or the U.S. Embassy website (http://montreal.usconsulate.gov/visas/visas/immigrant-visas.html), or feel free to contact my office if you have any specific questions.
