How to notify the immigration authorities about the change in my Marital Status

[TheQuestioner]

Hi,
I am an Indian student and am about to apply for a Canadian Study Permit to begin my studies in September 2016. Right now I am unmarried, and my family is planning my wedding with someone who is already in Canada (and has his own immigration documents) in August 2016. I can not wait until August to apply for a visa, as it will delay my registration in the university.

In the visa application form I must mention my current marital status as 'single' because I am not married yet and have never been married before. Moreover, there is no space in the visa application form to mention any extra comments. However, when I will fly to Canada in September, I will be married.

I do not want to hide such an important information from the immigration authorities. Hence, my question is, how to notify them about the plan for a change in my marital status? Also, is it possible if I apply for my student visa as an unmarried woman and declare my new marital status after I arrive in Canada?

Thanks in advance.

You should answer based on your current status and apply. Whatever happens afterward is not relevant to your study permit application, especially if you are not applying for their visa

Interested to know what actually happens when you enter Canada.
