This is the requierements for Follow-to-join benefits for spouses:

I think he meets the criteria by your post.

How your husband enter to Canada without a passport? does the Canadian authorities has recognize his refugee status so they can give him a travel document of some sort? Because he will need a passport. For the passport situation you can consult a lawyer.

Good luck,
 
(Following-to-Join Benefits for Spouses
Please note: This section is only applicable to lawful permanent residents who did not gain their LPR status as an immediate relative (parent, spouse, or unmarried child under 21 years of age) of a U.S. citizen.)

(spouse may be eligible for following-to-join benefits if your relationship still exists and if one of the following is applicable:
*You received an immigrant visa based on your relationship to your U.S.
citizen parent when you were already married )


i got confused between this notes and the condition
an explnation please
thanx
 
Did you gain your LPR status as an unmarried child under 21 years of age of a U.S. citizen, or the parent of a U.S. citizen, or the spouse of a U.S. citizen? If not, ignore that part. The section is applicable to you. Your second highlighted sentence does not contradict the first. If you received your immigrant visa based on your relationship to your U.S. citizen parent when you were already married, then you could not have been an unmarried child of a U.S. citizen.
