our application for pr to canada has been granted already after 4 years of waiting. i´m a dependent of my dad. when we first applied i was 19. i just turned 23 and gave birth 10mos ago. my daughter was immediately added among my dad´s dependants because i was never married anyways. i was never married becasue my boyfriend (the biological father if my child) was still on the process of annulment with his ex. now that it´s thru, we decided that we wanted to get married before me and my family leave for canada, anyways we already have our pr visas. shall we push through with our plans? weve waited years and years to get married. if we get married here, could he still apply for pr if i´m already in canada?
would the visa ofc deny his application because he married me, when in fact my civil status in my application was single? i´m so confused.. please help..

guys, tell me if if I am right or wrong...
i think you need to complete your application with your family first. if you add a spouse you are not technically dependant any more. once you are in Canada you would sponsor the child´s father. It is a very drawn out process, but if you get married i think you have to start your immigration process all over again on your own with the child´s father.

Sharon´s right. Getting married before landing would cause a lot of complications and problems. If you get married before landing, you will no longer be considered a dependent. And despite already receiving your permanent residence visa, there is a high possibility that you would not be able to "land" and enter Canada with your family. You would most likely have to begin the immigration process all over again with your husband and child.
Also on the off chance that you do get married before landing and are still able to land with your family, you will most likely encounter problems when you go to sponsor your husband. Most of these problems will arise when they discover that you were married before you landed and they weren´t informed about this. I´ve heard of a few cases where something like this happened and the people weren´t able to get their spouses to Canada without a huge fight.
You best option is to land in Canada with your family. Once you are a landed permanent resident, wait until you receive your permanent residence card and then begin making plans to get married. If he is able to get a visitor´s visa, great. He can come over to Canada for a visit and you two can get married. If this option is feasible, since he would have legal status in Canada he would be eligible to apply through the "In-Canada" class of spousal sponsorship and would be able to remain with you while his PR application is processed. The other option is for you to return to your home country after landing, get married there, and then return to Canada. Your husband would most likely need to remain there until his PR application is finalized and he is able to become officially landed.
The only problem I can possibly see occuring with either of these scenarios would be with you being approved as his sponsor. Seeing as you would be a newly landed immigrant, I am not sure how hard it would be for you to prove that you would be able to financially support him during the 3 year sponsorship period.
