Yes you can sponsor your new wife . The rules only state that if you are in a common law relationship or married before your dad sponsored you then you couldn't. You will have to remain in Canada while you are sponsoring you wife but will able to visit for short periods at a time.

I think there is a certain time limit.
If I remember correctly you have to wait a few years to be able to sponsor if you are sponsored yourself.

That is only if you sponsor or were sponsored through marriage. Not applicable to this case.
