No as your son is 22 years old, he is not considered a dependent anymore. He can try to obtain a study permit and study in Canada. After graduating he can work to obtain experiences so that he can qualify for PR on his own.
He's too old to be sponsored as a dependent. And no - there's no opportunity to ask for consideration. If he wishes to immigrate to Canada, he will have to qualify and apply on his own through an economic immigration stream like Express Entry.

Your son doesn't qualify as your dependent the day he turned 22.

Definition of a dependent child as of October 24, 2017
Children qualify as dependants if they meet both of these requirements:
- they’re under 22 years old, and
- they don’t have a spouse or common-law partner.
- they have depended on their parents for financial support since before the age of 22, and
- they are unable to financially support themselves because of a mental or physical condition.
