If she’s been living away from him for 13 years she can apply for divorce right away. It will still likely take 3-6 months to process, possibly longer if she can’t serve him the papers. As far as IRCC is concerned, her marriage to you is invalid. You’ll have to remarry again after the divorce. If you have been living together for over a year, you could apply as common law.
I mean do we need to do another court marriage since we have a court marriage certificate?
Your marriage is invalid in Canada. You can’t be married to 2 people at the same time. You would need to be legally married again after her divorce is final if you plan to be sponsoredas married.

She must have known it was a valid marriage if he applied for sponsorship and it was denied. She would have been aware of the spousal application process. She should have been honest and included the 1st marriage, even if it was forced, in her application. CIC was already aware of it. As others have already said she can get divorces in Canada without him.
