If you get married before landing, you must add your spouse. If you marry and then land as single, you will be committing misrepresentation and she will be forever excluded from the Family Class, meaning you will never be able to sponsor her.

As soon as there is a life-changing event like a wedding, having a kid, adoption etc you will have to inform IRCC. When you do a landing interview they will ask about your relationship status as well.

The best way for you is to add her to the file or get married after your landing is done.
