1. Since you are no longer accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse, and you can't apply for an extension in the US, not good. To maintain your Pr status, you will have to count the time that you and your spouse separated and see if you have enough time remaining to return to Canada and maintain your PR status of 2 years in every 5
