You can either marry your fiance in Canada and then petition for him on the I-130 and then consular process to be admitted into the U.S. as a Green Card Holder, or you could petition for your fiance on the I-129F and then within 90 days of his entry into the U.S. in K-1 Fiance visa status, you both marry and then he can apply for adjustment of status on the I485. He can only petition for his dad to immigrate into the U.S. after receiving LPR status or as an IR (no wait for visa number) USC. You as the daughter-on-law cannot petition for his father.
