1. Well Canada doesn't register marriages. If you marry in Canada, it is registered in the province where you marry.
2. You can choose either Buffalo or New Delhi.
3. You should be aware if the marriage doesn't conform to the norms of your ethnic community, then it will be questioned.

we will do it in Ontario and

we will do A religious marriage and is performed by an official of a recognized religion who has received authorization from the Office of the Registrar General to perform marriages in Ontario. The marriage can be solemnized under the authority of a marriage licence or the publication of banns, depending on the religious body.

so we will do that marriage and get marriage certificate.

which one is recommended new Delhi or USA
as processing time in New Delhi is 6 months and USA is 11 months.
and my fiance is in USA so if we apply from New Delhi and if they ask for passport or interview she has to go back to India ??
I am confused there

She is in the USA, so Buffalo may be better. New Delhi asks for the passport early in processing, so she would have to go back to India and stay for a while; same with the interview.

Keep in mind you have to prove that the marriage is legal, which is what you were referring to in your post. But you also have to prove that the marriage is genuine. Sometimes couples from India who do not marry in the traditional Indian way have some trouble proving genuineness. So the visa officer might ask why you didn't have a large, traditional ceremony, why certain relatives weren't there, etc. It is better to get married according to your traditions; if you don't, be prepared to explain why.
