Marriage to a Canadian citizen or permanent resident gives you absolutely NO status in Canada. He has to comply with the conditions of his existing visa. It doesn't entitle him to a work permit or extend his existing visa.

The PR would need to sponsor the spouse. They could apply inland with an OWP; it take about 3-4 months for the OWP to be issued.
