Hello there! The DCF process would result in a CR1 visa for you. In order for your wife to be able to apply for you, she would need to be a legal resident of Canada for six months first. And from what I've heard the DCF process in Canada has been annoyingly slow compared to DCF in other countries. If no one can correct that info and if your wife has not already been living in Canada, I would just have her file the I-130 through a USCIS service center ASAP after the marriage.

You can't start CR1 until you are married but that appears to be your best option at this point. The petition will be processed at a USCIS service center in the US.

You don't need a lawyer for any of it, as long as you are willing to learn the process by studying the guides and form instructions then be detailed enough to follow guides to fill out he forms properly.

I don't see a need to withdraw the existing petition at this time. You might reference it in the cover letter for the new one.
