Yes you can visit before and during your petition to become a Permanent resident. You will want to satisfy the curiosity of the Border Agent who admits you as to why you are visiting and assure them you will you return to Canada. You can say you are here to visit friends and family, but I would just say you are here to visit your husband. Be sure to have in hand documented proof of ties to Canada: Employment contracts , Leases, ties to family, school commitments are good. Do not pack items like resumes or a car load of furniture that might be a flag you as intending to move. Always answer all the questions asked honestly, but short answers are good, don't provide more information than they asked for. You are always entering as the discretion of the border agent. If you get an agent who is a jerk stay calm and don't react.

I assume you are a Canadian citizen and do not need a Visa or VWP. Canadians are of course exempt from obtaining Visas for personal visits under 6 months. I would invest in your Nexus pass now.

Best wishes on the start of your journey.

The content available on a site dedicated to bringing folks to America should not be promoting racial discord, euro-supremacy, discrimination based on religion , exclusion of groups from immigration based on where they were born, disenfranchisement of voters rights based on how they might vote.
