You were correctly refused. There is no point appealing. You need to apply again from scratch once she is 18 years old.

It does in fact matter. IRCC will not process applications for spousal sponsorship applicants under 18. The applicant must be at least 18 years old at the time the application is received by IRCC.
If she want to try to come as a visitor, she can try to apply for TRV. With a refused spousal sponsorship application, her chance of getting a TRV is very slim.
"He" has no part to play in the TRV application.
Wait... so he is the applicant and she is the PR/Canadian?
Sorry! I got confused. I though it's the other way.
Zero point in appealing. You cannot sponsor someone as a spouse when they are still legally a child.
As a Canadian citizen you should have been aware that marrying a 16 year old (given it would take a while to apply and get denied) would be an issue. Curious whether you will continue having challenges with your marriage certificate given the laws in Canada and the fact that you are a Canadian citizen. On top of that what's the rush?
Doesn't matter. You cannot sponsor her until she is 18. If you appeal you will be refused again. As already stated, you need to wait until she is 18 and then submit a new application to sponsor her.
It is legal in Canada to marry at 16 with parental consent, which it can be assumed they had in this situation, so there is no issue in regards to Canadian marriage laws.
