Marriage after Acknowledgment - how does IRCC handle it?

Hi everyone,

I’m trying to better understand how IRCC handles changes in marital status during a PR application.

Specifically:

1. What happens if someone gets married after submitting their application (after receiving acknowledgment)?
2. Does adding a spouse at that stage affect the application assessment?
3. Are there any known risks or delays when updating marital status after submission?

Also, from a general standpoint, what’s the recommended approach if someone is engaged but not yet married at the time of applying (and not in a common-law relationship)?

I’m looking for general guidance or experiences from others who’ve gone through something similar.
