American marrying a Canadian and returning to Canada

Hello

My girlfriend and I are planning on getting married and living in Canada. We both currently live in the US. I'm canadian and finishing up a TN work visa.

As stated, we are planning on moving to canada.

Should we get married in the US or in Canada, or does it matter?

Once we get the paper work started to patition to get her to immigrate to canada. Will she be allowed to live with me during that time? Or does she have to remain outside of the country? Can she work during that time? Also, can she work if she's sponsored by a canadian company?

How long can she stay in the country while visiting, waiting for the paper work to go through?

I know this site is mostly for canadians living abroad, are there any other websites devoted more to americans trying to come to canada?

Check out the forums at http://roadtocanada.com Lots of immigration to Canada info there for you.

When does your TN expire? Do you plan on moving back to Canada as soon as it expires, or do you plan to renew it?

Doesn't matter where you get married, but if you're in the US now, might as well just get married and start the paperwork. You can petition for an "out-land" application, which usually only take about 6 months or so. If you wait to do it until she's in Canada, it'll take 18 months or longer, and she won't be able to work during that time. If you do outland, like I said, it'll be about 6 months, then you move to Canada together and she can start working pretty much right away (as soon as she finds a job of course, which who knows what the job market will be anywhere next year!)
