I doubt PR will be revoked or banned because criminal offenses are more in that line. Just a marital status update failure wont be that harmful. Will talk to an attorney today.
You are wrong. You lied at immigration. That is a serious criminal offence.

When you landed, you were asked your marital status. The form said single. If you said single, you knew you were lying. If you said married, the officer would have asked why the form was wrong. So you didn't tell the truth.

Actually, the officer would have refused to land him. He would have been admitted as a visitor and told to contact the visa office.

Well I didn't go into the consequences - the point is there's no way that CBSA would have not noticed if he had honestly answered the questions, and gave a different answer to what was on the COPR he was giving them.
