You need to tell more about your situation. Did you live in Canada for at least 730 days in a 5 year period? In the 15 months, are you working for a Canadian business? Or are you accompanying your Canadian spouse in those months? Or you are accompanying your PR spouse who is working for a Canadian business in the 15 months?

I came to Canada on Feb 2011 as a new PR, on November 2011 I got a work contract in the US, initially the contract was 6 months, but since I didn't found a job after the 6 months, I remained in the US,
today its been a year since I left Canada, but I would like to return on March, and I want to know if I can.
I came alone to the US , wife is in Canada.

Well, looks like you still have time to meet the minimum of 730 days.

Yes, you can come back. In order to meet the residency obligation, you must stay in Canada 2/5 years which means you can be outside for as much as 3/5. Since you are only outside for 1 year, you could actually stay outside for another 2 without losing your PR.
