Hi mohan99,
You have to consider few things before deciding when to marry. If you provide more details, it will be helpful.
It depends how far along the process you are with your PR process. I read your previous posts, it looks like you have submitted your passport for stamping. Once visa is stamped on ur passport it is better to just finish landing. I have not read in this forum about getting the visa cancelled and getting a new one. It may be a difficult process and not worth risking your PR.
If visa is yet to be stamped and you can get ur passport back or if you have not submitted passport, then consider getting married before landing and including your spouse in your application. It is a much simpler process compared to Family Sponsorship which is a nightmare and it is an uncertainty. It will add only couple of months to ur processing time. But you will be much happier and thankful later.
I know friends who have done this and it went smoothly. In order to prove ur relationship, all you need is marriage certificate and may be couple of photos. Whereas in family sponsorship you will end up sending 3 kg documents ranging from emails, chats to skype, phone records, several photos. Even after all this you can never be sure what will happen to your file. Nevertheless if you present your case well and prove genuine relationship, you should have fewer hiccups getting PR.
All you need to add your spouse to your file is inform CIC that you have plans to get married. They will put your file on hold and send you the required docs for your wife. That includes few updated forms, Marriage certificate and PCC for your wife and medical exam for her and fees.
Consider the time for you to gather the new docs as well. If you are an FSW applicant, you should get married before getting visa.
If on CEC, consider how important it is for you to get PR like when does your work permit expire.
All the Best !
