This is not a legal option.  As mentioned above, you cannot cross the border with intent to adjust status from within the US.

 

Same as above (non-legal option).  You can get married in the USA, but must return to Canada and wait out your processing time in Canada.  

 

 

There are three options for you to be together in the same country:

 

File the K1 fiancee visa while you remain in Canada---once the visa is approved you can then enter and marry in the US.   You will not be able to leave the country without AP, nor will you be able to work in the US until authorized (which can take several months).   After marrying within 90 days of entry, you would apply to adjust status (perhaps a year or so for processing) and be a legal permanent resident.

 

or

 

Your fiancee travels to Canada and marries you there.  You remain in Canada and your new spouse files the CR-1 spouse visa.  You are able to visit (pending CBP admittance each time) while you wait for your visa to be processed/approved.   Upon entry into the US you are a legal permanent resident with the immediate authorization to work/travel outside of the US. 

 

or

 

Your fiancee/spouse moves to live in Canada with you.

 

She can also get married in the US and file for CR1. No reason not to if that's what they want. I know getting married in California was pretty easy, I don't know how complicated it is in Canada but that's one thing to consider about where to have the legal ceremony.

Yep, touched on that in the top half of my post---but OP seems to want to explore the K1 instead.
