Hi,

A friend married a Canadian in Australia. Is their marriage 'legal' in Canada or can he apply for a work permit by himself without having to declare he is married?

your friend need a job offer with LMIA from the company whether declare marriage or not.

otherwise, he can apply for inland sponsorship with open work permit (must stay in Canada though)

Yes, his marriage is legal in Canada and he must declare that he is married on any application.
