You need an ARC to be allowed to return to Canada since you have a failed refugee claim.

You would need to apply for a TRV (tourist visa) and then IRCC will automatically process an ARC along with the TRV. Expect long processing times with no guarantee of approval.

It's typically very difficult to get a TRV approved after a failed refugee claim. My recommendation would be to find another way to bring him back home (e.g. having a relative travel with him).

Got confused think you mean CAS. I would try to work with them. May an unaccompanied minor program with the airline may be possible.
