Visitor marrying Work Permit holder, then travelling??

[needPermit]

Hello All,
Since the past few days, I've been in a very confused state of mind related to some of the rules/intentions to show at the border. Basically, here's my situation.

Situation:
I am a worker on an open work permit. My PR application is in process under the PNP category. Me and my girlfriend are getting married in August this year in Toronto. She just got her visitor visa and so she will come here as a visitor (with a return ticket) 2 weeks before and then we get married.

Question:
1. If she gets married in Canada after 2 weeks entering as a tourist, does it seem to have false misrepresentation at the airport/cbsa when she entered?

2. We are planning to then take a short honeymoon outside Canada. After the honeymoon, will she still be allowed to enter Canada? Her visitor visa is 10 year multiple and she's got a return ticket back home.

3. At the airport/cbsa when we come back from our honeymoon, should we do our immigration together or as separate individuals? Our marriage license will be sent after we come back from our honeymoon, so technically we would have done our religious wedding, but it wouldn't be registered (i.e. legally married) at the time when we come back from our honeymoon.

4. We eventually plan to file her application as Inland Spouse application later on (i.e. when my PR is complete). Can this seem to arise any unfair intention in the minds of CBSA officers when we come back from our honeymoon?

I'd really appreciate if you could help get my mind straight about this. There are a lot of things only and it seems this case is a mix and match of everything and so I am not sure which thing applies here.
Your help would be great!!

It's best to be honest with CBSA because they share database with cic and ircc and they consider misrepresentation and do it together I maybe wrong but cic and ircc will scrutinized your app Ifor you do that way

But if I am a worker on a work permit and not a PR at the time we come back, can there still be a misrepresentation factor? Because at that time there's no scope for me to sponsor her because I am myself not a PR yet.

Just be honest and say she's visiting and she's going back but you can have her as your dependant or spouse on your PNP

No. There is no misrepresentation. Until she actually marries, there is no reason to declare it. She certainly can, if they are asking about luggage. But people come to Canada every year to get married. Not a crime.. Also, who is to say one of you doesn't get cold feet?

2. We are planning to then take a short honeymoon outside Canada. After the honeymoon, will she still be allowed to enter Canada? Her visitor visa is 10 year multiple and she's got a return ticket back home.

That's up to the border guard. They will assess her for dual intent, if you have a PR. If you are just on a Work Permit, then shouldn't be an issue. She will need to tell them her marital status has changed, though.

3. At the airport/cbsa when we come back from our honeymoon, should we do our immigration together or as separate individuals? Our marriage license will be sent after we come back from our honeymoon, so technically we would have done our religious wedding, but it wouldn't be registered (i.e. legally married) at the time when we come back from our honeymoon.

1.) You can't do it at the airport. You have to file paperwork, and they don't accept it there.
2.) You cannot do it separately, you would be married.

4. We eventually plan to file her application as Inland Spouse application later on (i.e. when my PR is complete). Can this seem to arise any unfair intention in the minds of CBSA officers when we come back from our honeymoon?

THIS would be misrepresentation. If you marry, you MUST inform CIC immediately. That would constitute a material change to your circumstances. It would mean that they would allow you to declare her as a dependent, and she can apply with you at the same time. You could both be granted PR's at the same time. If your PR is already complete, then you have to file for hers, and they will assess her for dual intent. You may want to google "cic dual intent" to understand what I mean.

I would however, suggest asking these types of questions in the Nominee group for more accurate answers. This is spousal sponsorships...
