Dealing with USCIS is one of the most unfun things you can do and you want to minimize it as much as humanly possible! Do consular processing. Avoid AOS and hopefully ROC.
While my process was pending, I could travel to and from the US, I could visit my spouse and he could visit me, we could travel internationally and most importantly, I could work my job in Canada.
After I interviewed at the Consulate, I entered the US with my greencard in hand. I didn't have to do anything else. I walked into the SSA and got my SSN, I could travel in and out of the US freely, I started accruing time towards my citizenship. We chose to enter 1 day after our 2 year wedding anniversary so my kids and I would receive 10 year greencards and not have to go through the headache of removal of conditions (ROC).
If you adjust, you can't work initially (and you're currently breaking the law with potential impact by working remotely despite it being for a job in Canada, FYI), you can't travel outside of the US initially, you have to pay to adjust, then pay again to remove conditions. Removing conditions, if you read on here, can be a pain and often people aren't issued their 10 year greencards in due time and are stuck with extension letters and a ton of hassles dealing with USCIS. I also don't know how your approval odds would be considering you'd have ZERO income between the two of you.
As an outsider looking in, it makes a helluva lot more sense for you to go back to Canada, keep working and apply for consular processing. You can keep visiting as you have, but put as much money away as you can and don't serve as a distraction to your partner so she can finish school and get a job to sponsor you. As I've said many times before, immigration is a privilege, not a right and the amount of time it takes to get through the process properly is minor when you consider marriage is supposed to be a life long commitment. Additionally, starting a marriage under financial duress is a surefire way to end up on the short path to divorce court.
