The mother is a Canadian citizen for more than 10 years who has a son that lives in Mexico - he is in his 30's.

If not possible, any other pathway for him to Immigrate that is most efficient?

Thank you! :)

Not unless she is single, have no other children (under 22 years old), both parents and grandparent passed away and have no other relatives in Canada.
(the in Canada part only applies to other relatives)

This is super helpful, as per usual! :)

If that all is not the case, and he is the only child -- does he still need to physically be present in Canada for 2 years in order for him not to lose the PR or can he be in Mexico?

I assume that you mean she is single and all her parents and grandparents are deceased and the son is the only child so she can look into the "lonely Canadian" route. Look under "Other relative" section
Sponsor your relatives: Who you can sponsor - Canada.ca

After he landed as PR in Canada, he still need to live in Canada to meet his RO (2 years in rolling 5 years). So if he doesn't plan to move to Canada yet, she may not want to start the sponsorship now.
Tho it may take 2 years (or more now... with IRCC cutting staffing) to get approval.

Needs to be physically present in Canada of course.

Retired cannot show income?
Of course they can but with around 10 years in Canada the likelihood of high retirement income is likely low. Not meeting LICO is often a problem encountered by older Canadians trying to bring a family member through lonely Canadian program.
