Living in America with dual citizenship and Marrying a U.S. citizen

I am presently living in America and have both American and Canadian citizenship. We have decided we'd like to marry and move back to Canada. How does my living in America and my dual citizenship affect the process? Does it make the process easier and what would be the best way for me to get my spouse Canadian PR? Should we marry via American courts? Confused...

Should be straightforward. Marry in the US, do the Outland process.
God Luck

No difference.

If you have lived together continuously for at least one full year - then you don't even have to get married. You can sponsor as a common law partner.
