I'm planning to get married sooner while I've got the immigration visa last week via PNP. What should I do? get married before or after landing?
If I'll get married after landing, How can I add my spouse to my immigration visa?
Thank you

It depends on what you want, visa has already been issued it won't affect anything. But you can change your marital status when landing which will enable you to sponsor her.

It definitely matters. If he lands on a visa for a single person but is married he can NEVER sponsor his wife and he could lose his PR for misrepresentation.

If you marry before landing you must return the visa and add your wife. If you marry after landing you must sponsor her as a spouse through the family class.
