Yes, it depends on where you are. My son did a French immersion program in a school that followed the curriculum of France. They offered to let him skip 3rd grade, and a boy in his class had skipped 1st. We know a guy from France who skipped two grades, and according to him, it's better accepted there than it is in the US.
I don't know about Canada. What are both school's acceleration policies?
An immersion program gives a gifted child a challenge during the early years of school (provided he doesn't already know the second language), and, of course, learning to speak a second language at such a young age is a gift itself.
