Well the first challenge for your friend will be leaving the country without a valid PR card will mean he will need a PRTD to fly back to Canada. Once he applies for the PRTD this will highlight the fact that he has not met the RO so will possibly be refused and may start the process to revoke his PR status. Without a PRTD only option would be via US land border with the expired card hoping not reported there.

You mention humanitarian grounds, what grounds exactly caused him to fail the RO. H&C applications generally only considered for scenarios such as looking after sick close relatives outside Canada and not due to business reasons.

Others can comment as I am not going to recommend anything but yes he could if the PRTD is rejected, renounce PR and have his wife sponsor from scratch but that would mean a long time apart outside Canada waiting for approval.

He could take his chances first at the US land border , if successful then good, if not then at least as a PR still entitled to enter the country whilst any revoke process is started subject to appeal which will take some time to decide next steps, such as sponsor from scratch.

Having Visa to USA will not get away the possibility that he will be reported. He shall bear that in mind. Yes his wife can sponsor him back, but that no RO compliance can make his life complicated for some time.

If business is more important, he can simply dump or and apply visitor visa. In this case he could even not to file his tax return. Until he is ready to live in canada, has his wife sponsor him again. It's not a long waiting for family reunion type.
