Family Class
If your spouse is Canadian or Canadian permanent resident, you can immigrate to Canada through Family Class under Spouse Sponsorship Category.
Through this application, the marriage or relationship is assessed if it is genuine. Canada allows various forms of marriage such as Common law relationship and same-sex marriage, so you might be able to choose a form of marriage that is not available in your country.
If you become a Canadian permanent resident, you can sponsor your children (under 22 years old) or your parents.
