Yes your family is being split up unfortunately due to your own actions. You were spending more time in the US than in Canada, which is not allowed, even for Canadians who require no visitors’ visas. If the plan was for you to live in the US, you guys should have filed a petition for that purpose as against the in and out you were doing. 
 
Your option is for your husband to initiate the petition process which will certainly take over six months, while you remain in Canada for the duration. Alternatively, you both move to a third party country.

This unfortunately isn’t going to be an “easy fix” at an infopass. You’ll have to file an I-90 for a replacement card and send in this current card with the filing. It will take several months for a replacement card to get sent, so you’ll need to get an I-551 stamp in the meantime. The good news is since this is a USCIS error,  there’s no fee associated with your replacement filing. 

You are quoting a journalist's reporting of a diplomatic cable. Not the cable itself. Here is the cable itself.  And here is the relevant language from it "3) marrying a U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident and taking up residence in the United States while in a nonimmigrant visa classification that prohibits immigrant intent" (emphasis mine). As I said,  this was likely left out of the news piece because people don't really get the distinction. It is clearly an error or a bad judgement call by the journalist, but we all know better. 
 
What this is doing is allowing State to do what it can to crack down on the phenomenon of people entering to "visit their boyfriend" and then "have a change of heart" and "suddenly" "decide" to marry, stay, and adjust. USCIS, cannot,  as decided in two different court cases, take this into account when deciding to grant AOS, even if they are pretty sure that you willfully lied to get the visa and to gain entry. The US government and this administration in particular still doesn't like the fact that this loophole exists and is frequently exploited and so is using what little power STATE has in the situation to punish people for using a non-immigrant visa to immigrate-- by threatening to withhold future visas (if ever needed). It's never been a problem to simply marry on a tourist visa, there IS no other visa for it. It's the marrying and adjusting part that is the problem.
 
 
 
On top of it, OP's boyfriend won't be entering on a visa so none of it applies to him in the first place.

I agree with the lawyer’s assessment, OP is deemed to have abandoned his permanent residency and is NOT legally residing in the US considering the fact that OP wasn’t re-admitted into the US as a LPR. OP was admitted as a tourist six years ago since he failed to present his GC at the POE to the admitting IO. OP possibly did not present his GC with his passport in order to conceal the fact he’s been out of the US for several years. That amounts to concealing pertinent information that could have been used to determine his admissibility into the US. 

So im guessing you intend to answer “Yes” to these two questions on the N400?:
 
1. Have you EVER given any U.S. government official any information or documentation that was false, fraudulent, or misleading?

2. Have you EVER lied to any U.S. government officials to gain entry or admission into the United States or to gain immigration benefits while in the United States?
 
The fact that you only presented your Canadian passport which required no visa to be admitted into the US, and did not present your GC which could have revealed your long absence from the US constitutes giving a U.S. government official misleading information. 
 
The fact that you entered the US as a tourist but resumed life as a LPR constitutes lying to gain immigration benefits.

Your dates are not even making sense. How can your eligibility for citizenship filing date be before the date you became a LPR? You became a resident on July 29th 2017, and you’re eligible for citizenship in April 2017????

The above is indeed accurate. The "immigration section of US laws" is pretty long. How much of it did you read?
 
You are ignoring that being in the US "validly" means you entered in accordance with the terms of the visa, VWP, etc under which you were admitted. It doesn't just mean that you didn't enter illegally.
 
Here's a scenario for you: she arrives at the border. The CBP officer asks her her purpose of stay. She tells the truth - that she is planning to wait for her number to become valid and then adjust status. The CBP officer will inform her that that is contrary to the purpose for which her B visa was issued, and sends her back home. He is even more likely to ask lots of questions if she is visibly pregnant. Her other alternative is to lie - and lying to a CBP official about the purpose of a visit is a bad, bad mistake. Here's a section of immigration law you may not have read yet- i've bolded the bits particularly pertinent to such a scenario:
 
Section 212 (a)(6)(C) states:
(i) In general.-Any alien who, by fraud or willfully misrepresenting a material fact, seeks to procure (or has sought to procure or has procured) a visa, other documentation, or admission into the United States or other benefit provided under this Act is inadmissible.
The inadmissibility that results from this violation of immigration law is a lifetime bar to entry.
 
 

Why apply for a job or attend a job interview if the original intent remains that of visiting?

And this is the man you want to spend the rest of your life with and have selected as a step-father for your children? This is how you speak of him and how you feel about the process of being together? Sounds like you think that he and the process are burdens. 
 
The 221g could be a blessing in disguise.
 
His financial problems will also be your financial problems when you're married.  

Actually, what is the purpose you entering this process?
 
K-1 visa means that both of you intend to get married. Yes, you are aware of the costs involved in this process. However, are you willing to invest in that cost?
Let me conclude from what you told us before. You guys are together for 3 months, however, during that time it is not a serious relationship yet, it explained why there is not even a single photo together. When did you submit the petition then? Because it seems it is not serious relationship during the time you guys together. Then he goes back to his country, you found out that he has gf there. But you still pursuing with the K-1, he wants to take a photo together and wants you to pay for the trip, you refuse. So, when these relationships become a serious relationship actually?
 
Are you in love with him?
 
You are 37 years old women. If you want a serious relationship, you want someone that you can spend the rest of your life with, why you get involved with this guy? And until now you still try to bring him to States. Why you get involved with someone that from the beginning lying to you and jobless (lazy to work). And why are you still fighting to bring him with you?
 
You refuse to pay for the trip because you don’t trust him. So, why you still want to be in this process since you are the one who said that you don’t want to waste your time. Even the congressman can help you, you need to ask yourself, are you really want him. Are you really ready to support him financially when he’s there if now, you don’t even want to support him for the trip?

Remain in Egypt with your husband and the first wife?
 
If the ultimate goal is to reside in the US together, then your husband divorces both you and the first wife, then remarries only you, which makes you the only wife. Then you can sponsor him. 

Okay. Thank you so much.

So are you saying you had your ID stolen 27 times in your first year of being in the US because of the old passport you kept, but never had your ID stolen in 16 years of living in Australia as you had been diligent in shredding old passports then? I’m sorry I clearly don’t see the correlation in having your ID stolen 27 times and keeping or shredding of old passports. I mean isn’t it weird that in spite of shredding old passports you still experienced an ID theft?
