Sorry I though a certificate and court marriage were the same thing. If you have aero ceremony and only a marriage certificate you must wait until you have your wedding u til you can apply to sponsor your spouse. URCC is very aware of all the wedding documents, ceremonies, etc. and see many couples try to submit their applications early so they will be able to leave for Canada together after their wedding. We have seen many try what you are suggesting or something similar and IRCC will refuse the application unless they can see that all ceremonies have been completed and you have pictures. You don’t have to return to Canada right away if you don’t want to. You can submit evidence of relocating to Canada while remaining abroad abroad or return to Canada 3/4 ways through processing and send a webform to IRCC indicating that you have come back to Canada to work (including proof of employment or lease, etc.) and establish yourself so you can be ready for your wife to join you as soon as her PR is approved. Returning to Canada will make it much easier to prove that you are both planning on coming to Canada once she has PR.
