I'm US citizen, my future wife has Canadian citizenship, will she be able to stay in US (i hope so) and will i be able to stay in Canada? How will dual citizenship work? Can someone with Canadian citizenship stay in UK for long time too?

The US has stopped allowing their own citizens to hold dual-citizenship by marriage (technically children born to parents with seperate citizenships are dual citizens), however other countries such as the UK do allow their citizens to obtain citizenship in two countries at a time. There is a process on the UK Immigration website.

US allows Dual Citizenship, but am not sure about Canada. You can check on their immigration website (www.cic.gc.ca).
The one thing you'd need to do is figure out where you are going to live or be resident of. Then file the necessary forms you need to for the residency there.
Dual citizenship allows you to be a citizen of 2 countries at one time. In reference to the duration of time you can be in the UK with Canadian citizenship, you should check with the UK immigration office to find out about the specifics of that.

Neither one. The non-citizen could obtain a legal immigration status in the country that they were going to live in, but that wouldn't make them a citizen. Contact your local Department of Homeland Security office to find out what she would need to get a resident alien registration card. As far as a Canadian's Stay in the UK, I wold imagine that would be restricted according to the visa that was used to enter the country, like it's supposed to be here in the US.

You have to apply, but need to be resident. Where are you going to live? The person 'away from home' would apply in the 'new to them' country. However, you need to get a spouse visa/greencard in the US. I can't speak to how to do it in Canada.
the US website is uscis.gov

Your kids if you have any would have dual citizenship. Here is their website.

No one Canada isn't recognized as a country.
