Unless you have a lot of concrete evidence that the marriage was only based on immigration then CBSA rarely does anything.
Was she living in Canada when you met online while you were living abroad or the opposite? Maybe you were both abroad? Were the children included in the sponsorship process? After you got married did you ever move in together with her children and was there a reason for this? Were you required to live on base for example. Had you discussed living separately before the sponsorship was completed? How old are the children? Where is the father of the children?
Now the ürquestion: what is it you want? You want the government to kick her out of the country, because you feel offended? Revenge?
Because, bluntly, the government will decide whether or not to kick her out for its own reasons (incl indifference, resource allocation, etc). It does not care about your relationship, your feelings, and as much as possible, does NOT want to be involvd in any part of the he said/she said - except where it constitutes actual criminal behaviour or misrepresentation/fraud upon the immigration system.
Sounds like she was living in Canada before, wasn't a security risk or otherwise inadmissible, etc., etc. Probably working.
While government MIGHT care about the issue with the proxy marriage, it sounds like you as the sponsor lied about that. That may be unlikely to lead the government to pursue the matter, but it's not impossible. If either of the sponsor/applicant may be adjudged to be 'responsible' for the proxy marriage misrepresentation, it's possible it would be you, the sponsor, and not the applicant.
Whereas you do have an interest in getting a clean divorce (if that's what it's to be), and making sure your spouse doesn't end up on public assistance (your commitments as a sponsor don't disappear). Your spouse will (presumably) fight very hard to remain in Canada (and for her children).
I know a situation we're the person told IRCC that they would not uphold their 20 sponsorship responsibility and the ex-wife was removed. These days there may be disciplinary action taken against you to pay back any welfare, etc. But that's a way to handle it.
The legal prerequisites for a proxy marriage differ depending on the state, military marriage restrictions, and other factors. The process will take around 1 and 2 weeks.
The proxy marriage process has varying legal requirements; you might need some documents such as written consents, Proof of relationship, Formal affidavits from the groom, bride, and their attorney, etc., or A document with an apostille for a foreign spouse.
