Well it may be an admission of marital infidelity. However, she cannot be prosecuted here because of the principle of territoriality. Meaning our criminal laws only punishes crimes committed in our terrotorial jurisdiction. Even the falsification cannot be punished here if she committed it in Canada. What you can do is to report it to the immigration authorities of Canada that your wife falsified her personal circumstances. Good luck to you.
