You were required to inform IRCC that you were married and committed misrepresentation. You must contact IRCC ASAP and correct your error. Once you correct your error your spouse can attempt to get an OWP but getting married right after applying for your study permit and not updating your status can create concerns about the validity of your marriage.

You have had ample time to information IRCC. You landed as a single person but you have been married for months so have committed misrepresentation. It will be an issue moving forward.

You entered Canada a month after you had your certificate and even then have not changed your status. You must change your status ASAP. You will have issues when applying for SOWP because your permit was approved as a single and you have had months to inform IRCC. IRCC may not believe your marriage is genuine.

Not knowing how to inform IRCC is not an excuse. Larry Page and Sergey Brin invented Google for a reason..
