PPL minimum in Canada is 45 flight hours and it’s common for students to solo in 10. “Full license” also doesn’t really mean anything. There’s a recreational pilot permit, private pilot license, and commercial pilot license, with various ratings/endorsements among those.

An Argentinian PPL is likely different, given the article’s mention of the pilot needing to still build time with an instructor. Though, it could’ve been a rental checkout of some sort.
