This would depend on which Saint Eusebius you wish to inquire after as there are four of them. Eusebius was a very popular name in the centuries of the early Church.

The four you may consider are:

Saint Eusebius, Pope - was elected and died shortly after in exile around 309 or 310 AD. Because of the hardship of this exile he is counted as a martyr.

Saint Eusebius. bishop of Vercelli - was sent into exile after coming to St. Athanasius' defense. A staunch anti-Arian, he was martyred in 371 AD.

Saint Eusebius, bishop of Samosata - also opposed to the Arians, he was martyred in either 379 or 380 AD.

Saint Eusebius, Roman priest - classified as a confessor. He died around 357 AD.

Since the process of canonization began centuries after these men had died, they are what could be called "popular saints" or saints that the Catholics of the time recognized as holy and staunch believers and defenders of the Faith and to whom Christians interceded as patrons. Regarding the first three, all martyrs, martyrdom confers instant sainthood insomuch as martyrdom for the Faith expiates all punishment for sin and unites the soul immediately to God. Thus, these men were instantly saints by virtue of shedding their blood and were recognized by the Church and its Faithful as such at the time of their deaths. Regarding the last St. Eusebius, although there is doubt concerning the accuracy of the tale, it appears he died while imprisoned. Although not classified a martyr, he was celebrated for his orthodox stance even when the pope himself seemed to waver before the Arian Roman Emperor. Evidence of the Church's veneration for this St. Eusebius is recorded in a Roman council document of 498 AD which mentions that the church of the Equiline in Rome had been dedicated to him, and thus his heavenly patronage was sought as only a saint could give.
