How can I mount an EF-M lens (22mm, for example) on my Canon Rebel T4i EOS EF-S?

You cannot mount an EF-M Lens on a standard DSLR or at least it won't work the way you want it to.
The EF-M lenses are designed to sit closer to the sensor than on a DLSR. There is no way to get the EF-M lens closer to a DSLR sensor because the mirror is in the way.
You can however, put a DSLR lens on the EOS-M camera with what is essentially a spacer to keep the lens further from the EOS-M sensor (the distance it would be if used on a DSLR).
Strangely enough, you CAN fit an EF-M lens to an EF mount camera. It's just a very silly thing to want to do. Here's what happened when I tried it.

1That's a great blog post, but I'm afraid that this isn't a great answer. Here, as on all Stack Exchange sites, we discourage "link only" answers because when (not if) the link eventually breaks, the answer becomes useless. Could you add a short summary of your post to this answer? It might be something like: "I connected an EF-M lens to an EF-mount camera using ____, and although it was fun, it didn't really work because ____ and ____. The full in-depth account is on my blog at ____." – Caleb Oct 12 '18 at 11:57
If an adapter existed, on EF/EF-S, the lens would sit farther in front of the camera body than it's designed to, and this would be like using macro extension tubes: you'd lose the ability to focus to infinity with the lens, and it would only be good for photographing close subjects. Which is why such an adapter doesn't exist.

But what if I got fisheye lens of 7.5 that all manual (apture and focuse). Couldn't it work well enough? Lens that are so wide don't need too much focuse. – Doron Tshuva Oct 12 '18 at 10:48
