Regulations vary from province to province. In Ontario it is 2 rounds in the magazine, one in the chamber for all shotgun hunting.

State the province, or check the provincial hunting regulations.

Saskatchewan. I was unable to find an answer in the Big Game synopsis.

All I see is:

It is a violation to:
...hunt game birds with a shotgun unless the magazine is plugged in such a way that it cannot hold more than two shells...

Just call a SERM office. the numbers are on the back of the synopsis. Call the one where you are planning to hunt and ask the CO, as he will be the one enforcing it.
