The N-400 application is written as though its only for those applying under the 5 year rule but in fact it can also be used for those filing under the 3 year rule. In your case, list all the time you spent outside if the US since becoming a pennant resident...which would be nothing. Put N/A. I would actually put N/A in the first box of every line of that question.

As for the previous marriage- I also checked ''other" and wrote something like "Non-resident - Canadian" in the explanation line.

I also drew a line through everywhere in the application where it had the number 5 and wrote in 3 since I was applying under the 3 years as a permanent resident married to the same US citizen just in case anyone at USCIS got confused.

The form is designed for people who are applying for citizenship from many different reasons. The more common waiting time is for 5 years so the form is written with those 5 year applicants in mind. Immigrants married to US citizens get a benefit and are allowed to apply after 3 years, so you don't need to worry about the time before you became a permanent resident - only the time since you became a permanent resident, as long as you are married to the same US citizen who sponsored you for your green card.
