He was sure to have done the work.

Its meaning is obscure. What do you want it to mean?

If it's not your own sentence, where did you find it, and in what context?

As I have already told you (here) a better title would have been He was sure to have done the work.

Does this sentence have any meaning?

It does if the speaker trusts the person to have done the work.

 

[MikeNewYork]

Even if that were the case, the original sentence is very strange.

 

[Tdol]

There are better ways of putting it, but I can see some meaning there.

"Every day I used to check to see whether my students had done their homework. Sometimes, I overlooked a few students, for example Peter, my best student. He was sure to have done the work."

Context is always important

Azah, it's clear that you and AzahAzah on WordReference are the same person. You posted your question on Word Reference 5 hours before you posted it here. You had received 3 responses on that forum before you posted it here yet you failed to mention here that you had already been given answers.

It is very irritating to members here to find that they have spent time on a question which has been answered elsewhere.

If you post the same question on two different forums, please make that clear and tell us what responses you have already been given and why you're not satisfied with them.

Azah, you appear to have a different nationality and native language over on WR.

In which forum are your profile details correct?

 

[Azah]

The information given in this forum (UseingEnglish.com) is correct.

 

[emsr2d2]

I suggest you amend your profile on WordReference then. It's not respectful to tell untruths about yourself on any forum.
