Same advice here. Be honest with your future spouse. It will come back and bite you in the ass if you're not. Also there's no way she can turn against you if this is just the truth. And be stern with your future father in law. I understand this might be a cultural thing, and I don't judge that, but 1) you don't have the money 2) this is Canada, not India. There might even be laws against this 3) even if you had the money, it would better be spent for you two love birds to begin in life.
Don't do anything stupid to try and get the money.
Talk to your wife. It might seem scary now but this is the only right thing to do. SHE WILL UNDERSTAND ELSE SHE DOES NOT BELONG WITH YOU. God speed, anon, and I wish you a happy marriage and a wonderful life together :)
