Penalty for Manslaughter
Unlike for murder, manslaughter does not carry an automatic sentence of life imprisonment. It remains, however, an option for the court.
If life imprisonment is ordered, there is no minimum time that is automatically required to be served before parole eligibility. Those sentenced to life imprisonment for manslaughter would be eligible for parole after serving 7 years. It may be possible for the court to delay parole eligibility for a life sentence for manslaughter up to 10 years under section 743.6 of the criminal code.
It is also common for manslaughter convictions to result in sentences other than life imprisonment. A 9 year sentence, which is not uncommon, would allow the offender to be paroled after serving 3 years of his sentence. If a firearm is involved in the offence, a minimum sentence of 4 years is required (parole eligible after serving 1/3rd of this).

Going to guess because he is underage it'll be in the 5-10 year range, but out sooner given time served.
