There are no specific rules saying that you have to stay in the US for x amount of time. The law only requires a minimum presence of one year before you apply for adjustment. But the law does require that before approving adjustment, the BCIS must be satisfied that you have not "firmly settled" in another country. Going to the same country on a weekly basis does raise the suspicion that you have something going on in Canada such that you no longer merit asylum here, let alone adjustment. Bear in mind that even a permanent resident cannot travel excessively without inviting BCIS attention.
