Is the husband applying for PR through an express entry program or something like that? If so, then you need to post your question in a different thread because this is the spousal sponsorship thread.
nterview!
Canada does not allow polygamy. The husband needs to divorce the first wife. Remarry the second wife once the divorce is granted and then add the second wife to the PR application. Second marriage while having a wife will not be recognized by Canadian Law.
As others have stated, Polygamy is not allowed in Canada. Not only you have to divorce your first wife, you need to show proof that you have divorced your first wife before sponsoring second wife to Canada. It is absolutely illegal to be married to two women simultaneously in Canada/North America (for that matter). No lawyer is going to take on the case, and will tell you the same thing.
No before sponsoring but even before marrying the second wife. Cannot marry another woman while being in a legal marital contract with another.
Cannot marry another woman while being in a legal marital contract with another - True, if the marriage took place in Canada, because this is the law of this land. However, if both the weddings took place in a jurisdiction where Polygamy is allowed, then in order for the party to sponsor one spouse in Canada, they have to prove that they have divorced their other spouse. Along with the proof that the jurisdiction where both weddings took place allows Polygamy.
I don't have access to edit, I just pressed the arrow on the Decision Made column.
Expect to wait for 3 to 4 months until a decision is made or more documents are requested.
