Your second marriage will not be recognized by IRCC unless you are officially divorced first or your first marriage is officially annulled. Converting to a different faith won't make a difference, your second marriage still won't be recognized. If you have lived together with your fiance for more than a year then you can include your fiance as a common law partner in the application.

Thank you for your reply.
In case, if we will apply under common law rule ,it will be the same process I will not be more difficult . However we will need to provide more document in this case . Like old photo or prove that we have joint bank account despite when we opened this account or rent contract right.
