That may be a problem. He has to show domicile in the US. As well as showing his financial eligibilities. He must send in taxes and proof of his current job. If they see he is working in Canada it will raise questions.
 
It seems like a better option is to wait until you two are ready to live in the US. Your case will not get approved if you are not willing to live in the US when your visa is issued.

The information you are receiving from @Unlockabledoes not sound correct. A U.S. citizen petitioner can certainly file from outside the U.S. Later in the process you must establish an intent to establish domicile but that is after the I-130 is approved.
 
As for changing address, I am just going from memory but I think you might need to call or mail in a form if your address is outside the United States. I know I was not able to do it online either as I am in a similar situation. In my case I will still be here hopefully when the I-130 is approved so we are changing the address at the NVC stage to have it sent to the correct embassy. 
 
I do not think you need to file a new I-130 nor will you do DCF. You just need to make sure you get the mail for the NOA2.

So your saying its perfectly ok for some people to have immigrant intent but went over on a nonimmigrant visa and should be able to get a green card and not wait in line like other people doing it the right and legal way, with K1 and CR1-IR1? Hows that fair to them doing it the right way?

I don’t know where to submit this so move if in wrong forum or delete if not allowed but am frustrated! 
 
This whole visa waiting game is hard but it has to happen ... 
 
But what makes us (husband and I) frustrated is people who want to enter the US on a tourist visa and just stay because it’s quick and easy. 
it’s the people who don’t do it the “proper” way - the way we are doing it.... via consular processing etc if that’s even the proper way - who knows 🤷‍♀️ 
 
Ive told the same person on FB 1 million times that “wife cannot enter USA on tourist visa with intent to immigrate” ... but they just want a quick, easy way for a “green card” - like don’t we all? Don’t we all want to be with our spouse? 
 
if all due respect to others I really find it hard to also believe that someone went on JUST a holiday and then “circumstances changed” and they just stayed 🧐 no furniture to sell? No rental to cease? No car to sell? I don’t know, resign? Do the right thing and give your 2 weeks notice? Get all your belongings? End your life in your home country before you make a new life? 
 
this is really frustrating to see. It’s a really lonely process that is just full of the “unknown”. 
 
it is the path we picked - consular processing because (a) don’t wanna commit visa fraud 😆 especially if I want to be an attorney and (b) because it’s the right way? Correct me if I’m wrong. 
 
single parenthood while we wait is hard. Lonely and hard and yes a consequence of our actions still lonely nonetheless.

meant to write "filled out by the petitioner", of course.

Definitely kid's data. It's confusing since this replaces an i864 form which is filled  the applicant (your husband), and I'd assume that most children cannot fill out the i864w by themselves anyway, but the kid is definitely the one requesting the exemption.
I also signed it using the kid's name according to these instructions, which are for US passports, but hopefully recognized by the NVC.

I'm not sure what you think this proves; an agreement is only worth the paper it's written on if it's adequately enforced. For example, Eritrea ratified that agreement 18 years ago but refuses to accept deported citizens.

*~*~*moved from “IR-1/CR-1 spouse visa process and procedures” to “bringing family members of USCs”*~*~*

You will need to submit a copy of the child's birth certificate with the petition, you shouldn't file it before then.

Also he will complete an I-864W instead of an I-864/I-864EZ (once the case is at NVC).

As an Immediate relative a separate I-130 is required unless the child is born after the immigrant visa is issued. See INA 211(a)(1) In that case the child would be admitted as a permanent resident in code XA3 by CBP at the border. The child would need to have a valid travel document. 

I thought it's clear from my response that I knew this, but I'll clarify. I was not present in the US for at least 5 years, of which two were after the age of 14. My baby will not acquire citizenship from birth.
 
Edit: I have never lived in the US past the age of 14.

Not true if he doesn’t have requisite number of years in the US after age of 14. 

Hey so you can file an I-130 for the child and slow down your wife's case at the NVC.  That would likely be your best option since the child will be born before interview. 

Since the baby does not acquire citizenship at birth, you need to file a separate i-130 for the child.  You can try to request that the child's i-130 is expedited.
Or you can file the baby's i-130, then stall the processing of your wife's i-130 at the NVC stage until the child's petition shows up there too.

Yup. Child will enter the US with an IR-2 visa. Since the child will be under 18 on the day s/he enters the US, and s/he resides in your physical and legal custody at that time, then s/he will become a US citizen under the CCA that same day s/he enters. After his/her US entry, you can choose to obtain a Certificate of Citizenship for him/her by filing an N-600 (https://www.uscis.gov/n-600) at a cost of $1,170, or you can jump directly to obtaining a US passport for him/her. To go straight to a passport, go to https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/legal/travel-legal-considerations/us-citizenship/Child-Citizenship-2000-Sections-320-322-INA.html and select the heading "How does the child get a passport..." and this will explain what to do and the documents you need. For the N-600, even USCIS says it's optional, https://www.uscis.gov/forms/n-600-application-certificate-citizenship-frequently-asked-questions:
In his/her case, you do NOT need to pay the USCIS Immigrant Fee. You will still get a boilerplate letter from USCIS stating that you should pay for his/her green card. You can disregard that letter.
As soon as you get a copy of the birth certificate. Here is a guide: https://www.visajourney.com/content/childpet
