He can interview in Canada.

You file the I 130, same as your spouse did for you.

I think you’ll find that it takes longer than 15 years.   His country of chargeability will still be India.

I doubt it, he may have that choice but I would expect he would want to interview in Canada.

No, he'll usually interview wherever he's resident. As above, he's decades away from that point though so I wouldn't worry about it yet, wait and see where he is when the time comes - who knows what life will bring for him.

Sort of interesting to speculate what the process will look like that far in the future. Surely it will be very different?
