Wrong. He can retain his Canadian PR - it is governed by Canadian law.
The US may not like it, but it out of their reach. As JAJ mentioned, if
he is married to a Canadian citizen, he could live anywhere in the
world, and remain a Canadian PR.
Also, how would he give up Canadian PR? I believe there is no formal
"renouncement" procedure. He would have to break the Canadian PR rules,
but even then he does not cease to be a Canadian PR right away. He
would have to try to enter Canada, or apply for a Travel Document at a
Canadian consulate, and then go through the process of the Government of
Canada declaring his PR lost.
