We've tried total immersion in French with my (teenage) daughter as she did it at school, my wife and I speak it reasonably well and we have a flat in the French Alps. We'd go down there with her and only speak French for a week or two (practice for us as well) but she'd refuse to take part and only spoke English.
I suspect your son will learn English easily enough but only if he wants to. A Canadian girlfriend would probably help!

he can help himself for this
I can't be able to help
I will let him know about this advice
