if you are under 22 and can demonstrate that you are still under full time education and funded by your parents, you can get pr i guess.

What if im 29 and have a commercial pilots license...?

1. then you will have to apply for Permanent Resident as a skilled worker either Sydney or London, which ever country serves the country where you are normally resident.
2. You may fall under the following provision to obtain a work permit, which if granted may speed up your application for PR through London

Flight Instructors who meet the following criteria may be issued work permits under the C43
provision:
• the applicant has completed a flight-training course at a Canadian training centre as
evidenced by having obtained a Canadian commercial pilot’s licence;
• the applicant has obtained, or is in the process of obtaining, an instructor’s rating, and has
received an offer of employment as a flight instructor from a Canadian flight-training centre.
Note: This need not be the same school at which the applicant was trained.
Applicants providing these documents may be issued a work permit, valid for a maximum of one
year but no longer than the length of their flight training studies in Canada. Any subsequent work
permit request or application for extension must be supported by an HRSDC confirmation.
