Once they hit 22, your ex could not sponsor them for PR anyway(even if they've had medicals and been included on his application), unless he lives in a couple of specific provinces that allow it via their PNP. But it just gives them that option until they are 22.

Yes, do - he can only sponsor him up to the age of 22 unless he's still classed as dependent over that age (i.e. in full-time education and being supported by his parent or disabled), unfortunately Alberta no longer has a family stream under their PNP so once your stepson turns 22 he would have to find his own route to a visa.

Maybe he could do his teacher training in Canada instead?
