I have already applied for my PR under the FSW program (part of EE). I am getting married in April to my boyfriend who is a Canadian Temporary resident (Post-secondary work permit) and he would be applying for his PR separately with provincial nomination or FSW. To avoid a delay in my PR process, we are keen to declare that we are married but not add him as a dependent. He would not require my sponsorship as he can get a PR under experience class, PNP, or FSW.
Can I complete my application without having to add him to it and just declare to CIC that we are married?

No. You must include your spouse or common-law partner in your application. You can elect that they are non-accompanying but that makes no sense in your situation. If he also has an application in progress, he must include you as well. Once you marry or qualify as common-law, there is no possibility of completely separate applications.
Assume that it will add a couple of extra months after you add him, depending on exactly how far your application has progressed. It's really impossible to be precise.
