Yes, but they have to apply for and receive US Immigration permission . Do not work until you have your Employment Authorization Card. You can get one by filing the I-765, which you should have filed in the package for the Adjustment of Status based on marriage to a US citizen.

Yes, they can marry where ever they wish. However, there are immigration laws that regulate if the Canadian can leave the US after their marriage. Re-Entry visa MUST be obtained BEFORE leaving the US by the Canadian until Resisdency is established.

Yes. You will need to meet the requirements of the state you wish to marry in (get a license, have the proper I.D., for example). A marriage that is valid and legal in the United States is considered valid and legal by the Canadian governmet and courts.

With the exception of same-sex marriages, as long as the requirements for a Canadian marriage license are met they can get married and the US will recognize the marriage.

With same-sex couples the situation is more complicated. If you live in a state that recognizes same-sex marriage then your marriage will be recognized by your state government, but under the Defence of Marriage Act the US federal government (and many other state governments) will not recognize your marriage.

Yes, but it would be inappropriate (i.e. visa fraud) to enter the U.S. under the VWP or tourist visa if your INTENT after marriage is to stay in the U.S. permanently after marriage. Entry should be made under a K-1 via.

Yes. When a non-citizen marries a U.S. citizen, s/he can then apply for US permanent residency. It is important to note that you cannot marry someone solely to obtain a green card as that is considered fraud (though, for the most part, it is the government's burden to show fraud, not your burden to show it isn't).

A Canadian citizen married to a US citizen should have a simple time getting the required permanent residency visa, though you still must fill out the proper immigration forms and follow the rules to the letter, as NOTHING is automatic.

The 2 people can get married but there is a long process...

You and yours need to fill out several forms.

Short list is

G-325(a) Biographic Information - at least 1 each

I-129 F Petition for Alien Fiance(e) - You must get married to him IN the US within 90 days of approval - no they don't make planning the wedding easy !

I-131 Application for Travel Document - if you intend to trave back to Ca for business or personal reasons before your residency is approved.

I-485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

I-765 Application for Employment Authorization - this lets you work, but more importantly lets you easily get a US Driver's license and Social Security Card.

Yes, there is no citizenship or residency requirement for marriage in either the US or Canada. However, if they marry in the United States, they will have to marry in a state that permits same-sex couples to marry (see related question below). They may, however, marry in any province in Canada.

Because of current federal law, the American citizen may not sponsor his Canadian husband for US citizenship. However, the Canadian citizen can sponsor his American husband for Canadian citizenship.
