If you apply for BOWP, i.e. if your PR application has been filed and crossed R10, you are entitled to get the BOWP, i.e. open work permit.
Your agent is giving you wrong information. You have to inform them of your marriage right away because it effects your points. You should recalculate your points now as a married applicant and non-accompanying spouse. You are good, if your CRS as a married applicant is still above the cut off score of the draw in which you received ITA. Otherwise, your application may be refused if your new CRS is lower than the cut off score, which is why informing them of your marriage is of prime importance.
Thank you for your reply. In my case , points will not be recalculate because as i mentioned earlier , my spouse is already Permanent resident of Canada. My only concern was to whether to wait till get COPR to inform CIC about marriage or raise CSE right away. I talked with agent and she is saying she has handled many cases and they have submitted change in information only after COPR and this is making me so confused and so much worried.Your agent is giving you wrong information.

Let's say you receive your COPR after 3 months. Do you have a valid explanation as to why you didn't inform CIC 3 months before when you actually got married? Hope it makes sense and you should raise a CSE right away without any further delay. Feel free to take opinions from senior members.
IRCC clearly states to inform them of any changes (like marriage,adoption,pregnancy,death) immediately. So ofcourse you need to inform them asap
It is good that your spouse is already permanent resident of Canada. However, any change in personal situation triggers the re-evaluation of eligibility. Also, if you read your AOR carefully, it is specifically mentioned that , "Do let us know if your personal circumstances change." If I was you, I would inform them right away.
Thank you So much. Will Inform my agent about this and will tell her to raise CSE on Monday itself.
