ur a non-res, don't sweat it. you are out for >2 years, you have your income, home, etc. in US. so what that your fiancee is in canada, in this day and age so many ppl work and live away from family.
ppl freak out too much about bank accounts, i hold US, Cdn, and European bank accounts and investment accounts as i travel between all three for personal reasons so need access to funds there, also i don't want to disturb my RRSPs and TFSAs at this time... as long as you have a valid reason, then you're fine.
be nervous if you're being dodgy, you're obviously not
