MN – Marrying an Non US Citizen?

After 3 years of fighting with UT disability courts and having to move across the country to MN, I finally got my surgery. I'm still disabled but I'm throwing in the towel; I can't do this anymore. They look at me and see that I have a minimum wage 20 hr/week job for the last 3 years in order to pay for rent or be homeless, and tell me to suck it up. Without MA (MN's medicaid) and SNAP, I'd be dead.

I want to get married to my boyfriend in Canada, but I have to stay in the states for 11-15 months after getting married for my PR to go through as the only other options is to work (full time!) or go to school in order to live with him (must have $30k saved and prove I have that money).

Will having a foreign spouse who does not work in the US, does not pay US taxes, and has no intention of ever living in the US make my Medicaid null and void if I want to stay for those 11 months? I'm waiting for my 'case worker' to get back to me, but I also wanted to know who else I could talk to (the 800 line, MNchat, etc…)

Hopefully not a repost, hoped this would be uber specific)
