You mean, can he stay if you commit immigration fraud?

This forum is not the place to ask how to get away with fraud.

but im not even canadian, how can he obtain that status
I would think CIC will still refuse your friend's Visa application regardless whether he's married or not. Evidence has shown that he will do anything to remain in Canada which violates the intentions of a visiting Visa. So him getting married will definitely raise some questions from CIC which you will have to provide answers and proof of documents too.

You cannot renew a Visiting Visa. You will have to apply a new Visa which CIC will consider whether approving it based on financial and home ties and travel history. If you asking about the validity of stay for a multiple entry Visa which is 6 months usually, CBSA officers will decide how long you can stay based on the history of traveling to Canada and how long did you stay in Canada.
