You CAN apply to sponsor now. The people that you are talking to are confused by the new conditional PR rules that came in last year. They have nothing to do with your being able to sponsor your new wife.


Good luck!

The 2 year sponsorship clause (conditional permanent residency) just means that if you have not been married for 2 years or don't have a kid together, After she has successfully obtained the PR status you will have to live together for 2 years and be able to prove it.
If you don't there is a possibility that her PR can be revoked.

You can apply now to be a sponsor and sponsor her.

I don't know if you have read think link from CIC yet but it is more detailed.
