What are you takling about? If you want to do so, do it at your country. Canda does not allow for that.
I am Muslim by the way but do not agree with your approach and do not see any reason to open such issue inhere.

Canada Doesnt allow Polygamy... but if you are already married to two woman and then you qualify for immigration then you can bring both the wives to Canada as a legal family.
I dont know why you would want to do that but it will be very tough to run a family like this...

there is only one spot on the application for spouse. I guess that means you are only allowed to claim one wife. Our other posters are right... polygamy is not legal in Canada. (just so you know, polygamy is also not legal in many Muslim countries)

It is a good idea to have many wives instead of nagging one to allow other ladies into bed. Approach the Canadian embassy and ask them. Or better, hire an immigration attorney.

Hi LKP I might not be able to give you a good answer and firstly i donno the reason why you want to marry two ( it might be for some personal reason too)because in ISLAM you can have more than one wife only if you can treat both of them equally ( 100% equal) or if the first wife have some medical problems and if thats the case then I will suggest you get the permanent residence for the first one and then apply for the second one and mention the first one as seperated.....
Note: Others please dont take me wrong but I am also not in favor of two wives because no human can be fair enough to treat both wives equally but some couples have some other problems which cannot be shared thats why they go ahead and marry second one....I remember one of my friend was forced to marry one girl and he had to do it because his parents forced him and he wanted to marry someone else since they had some love affair going on...so what he did was he married according to his parents then later married the other one to be fair to both of them.... Thats the reason I am giving my opinion and Please no offense..... Polygamy is allowed in all the counries but I am against it except if there are some other personal reasons....Sorry this has nothin to do with this forum but....anyways all the best for all of you....hope you all get what you want soon

Mohammed, I respect everything you say but you make one error. you say Polygamy is allowed in all the countries. This statement is incorrect.
Canada has decided that polygamy is against the law. if that lifestyle is not acceptable to the applicant, then they must accept this, or choose another place to live. no bad feelings.

Will be grateful if anyone can help me on that. My email msaleh_usa@yahoo.com
because I dont like USA anymore ( faced with rasicm many times not by locals but at the airport and INS and Police-gave me ticket for no reason and said it is for unsafe lane changing...locals are very friendly and have many american friends but most of the officers think that they are doing charity by allowing us in their country)

LKP,
Have you seen how your question created a conflict on Islam and drifted from the immigration purpose of this Forum?
That what I meant by why are you asking this here.
If you are already married to two then proceed with the application with one extra shet for the second wife. If you still plan to get married to two, then please keep the questions between you and your CIC office.
We do not to expose our holy Islam for a discussion that is not on a fair grouds.
Thanks for your understanding
