An online marriage won't be recognized by Canada. You must get married in person in order for Canada to recognize the marriage.
I don't understand your qeustion.
You must get married in person in order for Canada to recognize the marriage and for your wife to be able to bring you to Canada. Proxy marriages are not recognized by Canada.

Marriage where one or both parties are not physically present (e.g. proxy, telephone, fax, Internet)
Proxy, telephone, fax, Internet or similar forms of marriage where one or both parties are not physically present are excluded relationships in all temporary and permanent immigration programs [R5, R117(9)(c.1), or R125(1)(c.1)].
(https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/SOR-2002-227/FullText.html)
Proxy marriage is defined as a marriage in which one or both of the participants are not physically present, but they are represented by another person who attends the solemnization. A telephone, fax or Internet marriage is a marriage in which one or both of the participants are not physically present at the same location, but participate in the solemnization of the marriage by telephone, fax, Internet or other means (e.g. Skype or FaceTime). It is possible that someone other than the persons getting married participates on their behalf as well as over the telephone, by fax, Internet or other means.
Applications received by IRCC before June 11, 2015, from persons married by proxy, telephone, fax or Internet are not subject to this exclusion.
To be considered physically present at a marriage ceremony, both parties (e.g. sponsor and spouse or principal applicant and accompanying spouse) must have participated in a wedding ceremony in person.

1) You must be legally married according to the law of the country you are marrying in,
AND
2) You must be married in a way that is acceptable in Canada, under Canadian law.
You don't need to go to a Canadian embassy. You DO need to both be physically at the same marriage ceremony.

Marriage must be valid where it took place and under Canadian law
A marriage that took place abroad must be valid both under the laws of the jurisdiction where it took place and under Canadian federal law in order to be considered legal for immigration purposes. A marriage that is legally recognized according to the law of the place where it occurred is usually recognized in Canada, but the onus is on applicants to prove that their marriage is legal.

The Canadian Embassy does not conduct marriages.
For the marriage to be valid, you must both be present in the same place at the same time when the wedding takes place. For example, if you get married in Pakistan, then you must both be present in person at the ceremony in Pakistan. You cannot be in two different countries when the marriage takes place.
If it is possible for her to travel down to pakistan, it'll be better for the marriage to be valid and clear any doubt from immigration. Alternatively, if you can get a visitor visa, then the marriage can be conducted in Canada.
If she give me attorney to Canada Embassy send Pakistan we will nikkah then Canada government accpt
