You have been OFFICIALLY together? Really and you have the certificate to prove it?
The procedure is the same in BOTH directions. The native can apply to sponsor the other to come and live in their country.
Just living together or getting married is not some automatic come to my country thing. It does help.
You have to also meet other requirements to go to another country things like no criminal record being able to support the other one and other things like good health.

Neither of you can just move to the other country because you want to. Neither of you has to give up citizenship to get the other one or to live in the other country
CITIZENSHIP is many years down the road about 5-10 years for that final step.
You are first trying to be a RESIDENT of the other country and to be able to live and work there.

You both get dual citizenship.
You add Canadian citizenship and he adds US citizenship, and you're both able to move back and forth with ease.
