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.

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.

Or appeal to the Immigration Appeal Division of the Immigration and Refugee Board.
