Welcome to the forums!
I am not sure about the Canadian requirements for spousal visa, but don't worry about meeting and getting married on the first trip, that is what Kathlene and I did and we had no problems getting her visa.
As for the travel restrictions, I would not worry about them, just use common sense and you will be fine. You probably got a better chance of getting hit by a bus crossing the street in any major North American city as having problems with terror threats in the Philippines.
You will have to get a certificate from your embassy showing you are legally available to marry, since you are a dual citizen, it should not matter what embassy you use. But to be safe, I would go to the country you are going to get her visa from. We did a civil wedding, but remember to figure in the 10 day waiting period from applying for the wedding license before you can have the ceremony.
It is not as hard as you would think to do all the paperwork, just be patient and get ready for several months of frustration as you wait for the wheels of government to slowly turn!
