1.  He requires a TRV (visitor visa) to come to Canada.  It is unlikely that one will be issued as he has a Canadian spouse, and CHC would assume that he is not going to Canada temporarily, but intends to remain permanently.  If you are a Canadian citizen, you can sponsor him while living in El Salvador, if you are a PR you must return to Canada to submit the sponsorship and application.  See: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/index.asp

Applying to sponsor him does not give him the right to visit.  It's a separate application with different requirements.  Applications for nationals of El Salvador are processed in Guatemala.  Current processing times are up to 18 months.  Could be faster if you have a well prepared application.

Your next step is addressing the reasons you were denied, fix them and apply again.
