I am a US citizen and my husband is Canadian.We live in Canada.The recommended filing status was "Married but filing separately".Its asking for a SSN for him What do I do

It's asking me to fix the SSN but he doesn't have one, and nowhere did I see an option to say he is from another country. How I fix this problem?

Since your husband is Canadian, he will need to get an Individual Tax Identification Number, (ITIN) in order to replace the social security number requirement for income tax purposes.  I have included a LINK here where he can actually apply for one.
