Expired Canadian visa living in US, getting married

My girlfriend and I want to get married. Her visa expired over 10 years ago. She has been living in the US for 15 years with an expired Canadian visa. I am retired military, if that has any bearing on things. Would like to know if getting married is possible, and would she have to go back to Guyana.

I strongly advise against her travelling outside the USA while her spousal petition / adjustment application are being processed. All of the aforementioned is viable provided that you, the sponsor, are a US citizen.
