Yes he can. Only difference is the documents that he needs to submit. You need to attach his birth certificate (long form) alongwith his parents expired passpport. My son is born here and he got his OCI.

Since he is of major age and Cdn born, I think he needs to apply based on his parents' prior Indian citizenship.
Applying for a minor child is straightforward as it is a dependant application.

Still the procedure remains the same except he has to apply by himself instead of parents.
