So she never informed IRCC that she was married and then you applied for SOWP. That is misrepresentation. She needed to change her status to married and could have easily done so when she entered Canada. You are going to have issues getting approved SOWP because she is still single on her file.

Well first she needs to update her IRCC files and change her status to married. Then try and reapply and explain why she misrepresented herself for so long. You were married almost a year ago so she has had a long time to update her files. Did she file her Canadian taxes as single too since she was married in 2023.
She started working in Canada in Feb 2024 so haven't filed any Canadian taxes yet. We were not aware of the need to update IRCC regarding the marriage. That's the only reason we didn't inform. Can you please help me with the official procedure for updating my spouse's marital status in IRCC?

No sense in reapplying until spouse had informed IRCC as she is single on her file but actually married.
This is a common method of immigration fraud. As already noted your spouse was required to inform IRCC that she was married before coming to Canada.
