You marry him, then sponsor him for Permanent Residence in Canada. Read through the guide here, for starters.

If he can't enter Canada you will have to travel to him to get married.

It doesn't matter where you get married.

Assuming you apply outland (this will likely be the fastest option given he's from the UK), here are the approximate processing timelines:

Step 1 (sponsor approval) - about a month of processing at the Mississauga office
Step 2 (applicant approval) - approximately 2-8 months at the London office

So your totaly processing time will be approximately 3-9 months.

The application forms you will need to fill out are here:

But he has no legal status in the US, correct?

That just means they have to be processed through London not Buffalo. Doesn't affect anything else.

Why can he not enter Canada? If he is being refused entry for some reason this might need to be sorted out before you even think about submitting a PR application.
