There were some issues between them like we can say domestic violence issues. She was sponsored spouse . She came here in canada in august 2017 . Her first husband got died . I am also in canada onstudent visa . So my question is that can she apply for my permanent residency or not ?

Was she charged?

No she wasn’t charged . She was the victim of violence. Her ex husband was charged for that

If she obtained her PR status through spousal sponsorship and landed in Canada and became a PR in 2017 - then she has to wait five years from that date before she will be able to sponsor you for PR. So she will qualify to sponsor you sometime in 2022.

Would make sure you keep on studying and apply for PGWP. You may be able to qualify for PR on your own.
