Hola Emanuel
Yes, you could say that. However in Spain preposition por for length of time is not commonly used; we prefer to omit the preposition or use "durante":
Después de vivir en Madrid diez años yo me he vuelto español.
Después de vivir en Madrid durante diez años yo me he vuelto español.
(note that nationalities are lower case, not upper case)
