Marrying Canadian citizen girlfriend for sponsorship purposes in the USA - good or bad idea?

I am a US Canadian dual citizen who has a Canadian citizen girlfriend (dating for 2 years).

I have to relocate to the USA for work and the distance between us will be too much to handle; she just finished college and the chances of her getting a job in the USA that will sponsor her or have her be eligible for a TN visa is slim (she works in healthcare/analytics). As such, I'm mulling over marrying my girlfriend and sponsoring her so she can obtain residency with me and possibly a job in her field that does not require sponsorship. We would still treat this as a normal relationship until we're ready to make the jump (i.e. an actual engagement, wedding, etc)

What are the implications of this kind of arrangement?

More importantly - When I click on "View PDF" link under "N-400 Application for Naturalization", to see my actual N-400 form, I get " {"data":null,"error":{"developerMessage":null,"userMessage":null}} " message! The form is also missing under "Documents -> Your Uploads" tab! So, it appears that my N400 form is missing! What does that all mean, considering that it's impossible to file without N400 form! Finally, under profile, My name is incorrectly sp...
