It is going to depend on what type of permitting you have to reside in Canada. If your family has already been accepted as residents, then most likely you won't require a special work permit - but check with a lawyer to make certain. If you are only "planning" but nothing has been done yet, you will require a work permit or a residency permit with permission to work.

Once I get married in Canada, can I come back to US to wait for work permit
Once I get married in Canada, can I come back to US to wait for work permit?
Once I get married in Canada, can I come back to US to wait for work permit? Most of the people would like to stay with their spouse and so am I; however, I don't want to put more weight on my wife's shoulder in order to sponsor me so I would still like to work and earn some money in the US before I get to work in Canada. Is it possible? Or I need to stay in Canada to receive my work permit?

You do need to go home (USA) to apply for an outside spousal visa - they are being processed quite quickly ( 6 to 9 months) and you get to keep working while you wait. Your wife can come and visit you while the application is being processed. If you do enter Canada, you would be much better off staying in Canada. Sure you cannot work for several months of processing, but once you have passed the first stage of approval, you qualify fior an open work permit and work for anyone you choose. Processing for inside applications are currently taking between 1 and 2 years but at least you are together. The wife must have a job and income in order to sponsor you. About not being a burden on the spouse - well she cannot sponsor you unless she has a job and income anyway - so she is more or less REQUIRED to support you and the marriage whether you live with her or not. It actually looks a lot better if you do live with her. Sure you cannot work for some of that time, but thats part of marriage. You need to SHOW CIC that your marriage is genuine. You scuttling off home after you get married does NOT show that you are genuinely in love and wanting to make a home and live together. On those grounds your application may be denied.

Outland application: You can go back to the US and work, visit your wife when you want, if you are approved, you will have your PR (permanent residency) in 5-10 months. If they are suspicious of your application, they will call you in for an interview (in the US). If you are denied, you can appeal, takes about a year. Inland application: You have to stay in Canada, strongly advised to not even travel while in process. You apply for a work permit with your application, if you are approved, you will have your work permit in 6-7 months and PR in 12-18 months. If they are suspicious of your application, they will transfer your file to the local office without giving you a work permit. Getting an interview with the local office depends on how busy they are but can take up to 3 years in some places. Immigration thinking that your relationship is not real can happen regardless. You have to send immigration the data to prove that your relationship is real. If you have a good application, you will be approved. I absolutely do not think they will assume your relationship is not real just because you can't afford to sit in Canada without working for 6-7 months.

I think they would, but I want to make sure before I buy something that might not be compatible with my system. What about hardware?

Yeah, they should. I've gotten games from other countries and they all work fine. If not, it's just the game that's corrupted.

Probably, yes, you'll need to file income taxes according to where you live. You would be considered non-resident in Canada. You'll need to file tax returns in both Canada and the USA. See an accountant with experiance in dealing with your situation.
