He can remarry after his divorce is finalized. He cannot sponsor until his other sponsorship is complete and no money is owed as a result of the sponsorship.

Thankz for your reply.Can he get married and apply for open work permit for his wife?

Not quite correct. He has to wait three years before he can sponsor a new spouse. So the earliest he'll be able to submit an application to sponsor his new spouse is January 2020.

He can get married. However he will have to wait until January 2020 before he can apply to sponsor his new wife. She cannot apply for an open work permit separately. She can only apply for a work permit as part of an inland spousal sponsorship application - but she will have to wait until January 2020 to do that.

Yes I stated that his previous sponsorship has to be complete, 3 years. But that is not all... no monies can be owing as a result of that sponsorship, so I am correct.

Hello, I was previously married and sponsored my first wife in 2011. we were together until 2016, then separated due to differences in our personality. we recieved our divorce certificate in Nov 2017. I met my second and current wife in 2018 Dec via a newpapaer ad given by family in india. we started chatting, we got along great and had similar interests. she then met with my family in india along with her family. She also met my sister and her husband who were in india in Jan 2019. We then decided to get married while i was visiting my family from Jan 23 to Feb 5th. we officially got married in front of family and friends on Jan 28. we lived together and went for a honeymoon and went on family picnics during my stay in india. the reason for my short stay was lack of vacation time at my newly started workplace. I will now be starting a sponsorhip application for my current wife, and wanted know what obsetical and scrutiny i will face from the immigration officer based on my situation.
