It depends on if he is entering as a spouse or fiance. If you marry in Canada, he will have to reside in Canada until he can get a visa, which I have been told by Immigration is two to three years. If he entered as a fiance, then about 8 months after you get married, or longer. The actual length of time depends on how backlogged the immigration process is at the time you apply.

After marriage you can petition for yourself, you cannot apply for residence

at that time as there is a delay of three years or so for quota availability.

The petition does not authorize you to remain in the US. The preference petition can be upgraded once she becomes a citizen without the need for a new petition.
