He can't marry his girlfriend in Canada until he divorces his first wife. If he marries his girlfriend before divorcing his wife, CIC will not recognize the marriage.

In order to sponsor him for PR, he and his Canadian girlfriend must either be married or common law. Common law means they have lived together continuously for at least one full year.

Thanks Syclla for your quick response. That means he cannot marry without divorce right.

Correct - he cannot marry without divorcing first.

As scylla mentioned once he lives with his girlfriend for 12 months they become common-law, and she could then sponsor him for PR. In this case it doesn't matter if he's still married to someone else.
