I think the marriage certificate should be fine for the purpose of your marriage.
There may be a question arise of whether this marriage certificate amounts to a legal change of name - that's a question for the country where you got married.

i will try to check if Marriage certificate can be corrected because this is the default format in which they give the marriage certificate in my state , if they say its not possible to correct then i will write a letter of explanation .
Marriage certificate do not amount to legal change of name in India, there are set of other things to be done to get it legally changed and reflected in all documents which we opted not to do as we wanted to keep the original surname.
Then if that's the standard format, I don't think there's an issue. I don't think you need to get a new or different version of marriage certificate.
Hi Guys. Hope you are doing very well.
I will be very quick, I have forwarded my spouse's family class PR sponsorship immigration file at Sydney's office. It's been exactly a month. Haven't heard anything. I read somewhere in this thread before, that I can call up the IRCC and get a "Temporary FIle Number"attached to my wife's name.
Is one month, a reasonable time to call up IRCC for the same, and can anyone suggest any other alternative course of action which I might not be aware of.
Cheers.

I’m still waiting for my AOR and it’s been 2months that I sent my application
It's almost 11 month completed. Only one month more. And I got the confirmation from Canadian immigration in Canada they forwarded my file to Colombo office on 13October 2020. Already 3 months cone no update. And I got the selection certificate from Quebec on November 2020. No update after that.

I was not able to cover my spouse on insurance as they live outside of Canada but I wrote an email to my employer asking and they explained why that is not possible. I included that. I was able to add him as a beneficiary to my life insurance and retirement plans so I printed that confirmation and included it.I only can provide number 3 from the below list. Is it okay to just write an explanation letter given that I just got married recently in my home country? Or has anyone submitted any other documents with the explanation letter who was in a similar situation?
You can try but it might be a bit early to even get that, another month and it should be available.

hi, i have a question re family sponsorship (both me & my spouse are outside CAN) - if i receive CoPR & cannot land CAN before due date. can i extend it?? how if yes?? if i still cannot land on time & it expires, can i re-apply again from the start right after the expiry?? does the sponsor's right to sponsor the same person (spouse) would be affected with the CoPR expiry?? Thanks for your help / advice in advance
Short answer: I would wait and see what happens when your COPR is issued and what the validity period is; if possible, it is better from a PR status and applicaiton process to land before it expires. Procedures are changing so (in my view) not worth getting into details before you receive your COPR.
Longer answer:
Typically before covid, the COPR validity date was final validity, period; the PR application was considered abandoned after that date. Sponsor can re-apply to sponsor, there is/was no penalty.
Now: only with respect to covid delays, IRCC was for months instructing COPR holders to submit a webform when ready-to-travel. They changed that guidance in January:
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/updates/2020-covid-approved-pr-applications.html
They now say 'they will contact' the copr-holders directly. I've not seen reports of how this works at all or if they have actually started contacting COPR holders. (I suppose one can still contact to request but not clear whom to contact or with what information)
But it seems they are implementing new procedures and will extend in some fashion (important to note from IRCC perspective this is not an 'extension'). Keep in mind - it is almost certain that this is a temporary measure and will change (ie eventually they will revert to letting COPRs expire normally).
I outlined my experience with this before the recent changes (wrote to visa office and they cancelled previous visas and COPRs, and issued us new ones - only thing required was physically submitting the passports again, no new medical required):
https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/copr-expired-family-class.715135/
But I repeat, this was before the changes and I have no idea how they will proceed going forward, or whether this would apply to others in similar-seeming cases.
Hope this helps even if it gives little additional clarity.
