Many people have done this. CBSA is pretty easygoing about requests to delay landing when there are valid reasons. When a spouse is added to the app, you have to send your COPR and passport back to IRCC to be re-issued anyways.
@canuck_in_uk thanks for the confirmation. In some another post, someone has also mentioned doing this once. Hopefully, this goes well. I don't think this scenario is documented anywhere in CIC website or any other document, isn't it?
@Kmn : If I understand it correctly, you didn't have the option of the worker visa [ or visitor visa alternatively ]to enter canada. You just had a PR visa.
In that case, certainly one only has to land, one can't enter Canada without landing in this situation.

CoPR issued. Getting married in Jan 2019. Single entry visa valid till July 2019. I will be updating CIC of my marriage and submit the required documents.
Will my spouse need to appear for IELTS and submit her transcripts? I believe my spouse will only need to submit PCC and medical test reports.
Hi guys, I have an urgent inquiry in which I need your expert opinion with.
I got my COPR as a single with an expiry date at the end of march 2019, however I am planing to get married at mid march before landing to be able to add my spouse to my application and get a new PR visa for both of us. I know that I have to contact CIC once I got married before the expiry of my COPR, however I am worried that I wouldn't get a reply back before the end of march due to the short period. Is it an issue or what should I do?
Thanks.

This is incorrect. As the spouse is a Canadian citizen, there is zero effect on the app and the visa/COPR do not need to be re-issued, nor does OP need to send all of the Canadian spouse's documents.
