Polygamy is illegal in Canada, and he could be thrown to jail if found.
Are you legally married to him? Did you have marriage certificate to prove?
It is unlikely that he can sponsor you at this point, since he is sponsoring his legal wife.
If he is currently sponsoring his wife, he will be obligated to provide support to his wife for at least 5 years.
And if he does not divorce his wife, he cannot marry you (since it is illegal), and therefore you will not qualify as dependant for him to sponsor.

If the other wife gets mad and tells Canada immigration that he's married to her as well, then they will find out. If you have lived with him for at least 12 months, he can sponsor you as his common-law wife even if you are not married and even if he is married to someone else.
However, I am not sure that you can trust this guy. He has already gone behind you by having another wife and sponsoring her. How do you know that he will take the other wifes sponsorship back? If he does sponsor her and she arrives in Canada as a PR, even if she never lives with him, he will be responsible for her for 3 years and can not sponsor you during that time.

If you have lived with him since last september, you will qualify for common law application this next september. That's after living together for 12 months. Try to get some evidence for when you moved in with him, such as if he added you to his lease, you have gotten mail to his address in september etc.

does he know that you are pregnant? what does he say about it?
is his wife Canadian or other country citizen? writing to cic can help only if she is staying illegal in Canada, but writing to a visa office abroad can make their sponsorship application in doubt related to being not genuine.

I don't quite understand what you mean. If you mean that he is sponsoring his wife back home, then there is not much you can do about it. You can make their life hard by telling immigration that their marriage is a sham because he has been living with you and gotten you pregnant. That may cause their application to be denied but that still does not mean he will sponsor you if he doesn't want to. You can not make him.
If you mean that he had cancelled the sponsorship of his wife back home, then he would be able to sponsor you as a common law after you have lived together for 12 months or you wait until he divorces the other wife so he can marry you.
