A Pakistani man denied permanent resident status in Canada after an immigration officer discovered he had two wives has won another kick at the can, courtesy of the Federal Court.

It’s not that the court condoned polygamy, but it found that the man’s case was complicated and an immigration officer was being “unreasonable” when they failed to try and understand the circumstances that lead to the man being married to two women at once, for a time.
