If you need to add your spouse to your PR application, you need to re-do all application forms where your spouse would be listed and send them along with the marriage certificate and your spouses fees to your visa office and ask that your spouse be added. If your spouse is already a Canadian or a PR, just re-do the additional family information form and send it with a copy of your marriage certificate and a copy of your spouses Canadian passport or PR card and a letter stating you got married and want to change your status.

Thanks guys for the replies I really appreciate it! =) Im still at my work permit and I had my PR application sent already before I got married. If I change my status to married, and by the way I married a Canadian citizen, will there be a possibilities that the processing time for my PR application will be faster than normal? Or should we just apply for a Spousal Application and cancel my current PR Application on process?

It won't speed up your application timesBaki11 said:
You haven't said which program you applied for pr under, or when -different programs have different processing times so it's hard to say what to do. I wouldn't cancel current application though - you can have more than 1 running at the same time but it might not be necessary
