According to a draft document which was developed by the national headquarters for Citizenship and Immigration Canada, a practicing polygamist cannot be denied entry to Canada on a temporary basis. However, practicing the same is not permitted in Canada. so you cannot live in Canada with 2 wives...some people will lie in the application to get their second or third wife into Canada but this is a criminal offense

Incase, an applicant who has been involved in polygamous marriages or have been into conjugal relationships while in Canada or gives reasons to immigration officials to believe that he would be involved in such an act, the applicant can be denied an entry. The document has also stated various circumstances which immigration officers might face and how they must deal with it.

According to spokesman Alykhan Velshi from the Immigration Minister’s office, the department is putting all the efforts to ensure that polygamy stays out of Canada.

this Canadian immigration law have double standard because they claim religion freedom in Canada but then why denial entry for resident to people like me that marry more than one wife based on my religion belief..i cannot understand this type of limited freedom!!
