Our IT dept. has asked us to find out if there is a way to send multiple email addresses to Canvas (for students) via SIS. Does anyone know if is this is possible?

Looking at the docs for SIS Import I don't think so.

SIS Import Format Documentation - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation

Notice that the users.csv definition only has one field for email.

I don't know what your use case is, why you are wanting to store multiple email addresses, but you might want to look at this API call:  Users - Canvas LMS REST API Documentation - Store Custom Data

Your IT staff could write a custom script to create custom data to store with the user, that would include additional email addresses.​
