Sponsoring a former spouse

[algeirs]

Hello,
I am a permanent Resident in Canada and I am now divorced and intend to marry and sponsor my former spouse to Canada.
I am concerned about a clause in the Sponsor's guide as shown below :

Excluded Relationships
----------------------
You cannot sponsor a person as your spouse, common-law or conjugal parner if you are a permanent resident or naturalized citizen of Canada and at the time you made your application for permanent residence, that person was a non-accompanying family member, former spouse or common-law partner and was not examined;

WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR A FORMER SPOUSE TO BE EXAMINED ? DOES IT MEAN I CANT SPONSOR MY FORMER SPOUSE ?
