It shouldn't at this stage, your spouse will have to submit, IMM 008, Schedule 1, copy passport, pictures, birth certificate, marriage cert., IMM 5406 , PCCs and any local forms required, as well you will have to amend your IMM 008, Schedule 1, and 5406.

PMM,

Thanks for your reply, I heard that a delay in my application will be possible as my spouse will have to undergo medical examination and security check. My plan is to sponsor my wife only after I arrive in Canada for this is what I think is best so as not to delay my application. Whats your advise on this? Thanks again.

If you marry and then "land' your visa is no longer valid and your spouse would not be considered a member of the family and can never be sponsored.  As you probably not have had medicals as yet there should be no delay.

You'll have to wait for your husband's application to be processed before the visa can be issued.

If you marry before you land, you have to tell the visa office and get your spouse added to your application. If you don't, and then land claiming you are single, you will never be able to sponsor your spouse, and your own PR might be revoked.
If you want to sponsor your wife after you land as a PR, then get married to her after you land.

Thanks for you help in forward,
