Back when I had a DOD Secret level clearance, I believe I was required to report any time that I left the country to security. You may want to double check that you only need to report foreign travel on the clearance form. You may also want to make sure that you don't have to report the fact that you have a girlfriend who is a Canadian citizen (if you haven't already).

My clearance is technically "on hold" because I applied for it in anticipation of being put on a classified program, and instead I was put on an unclassified program. This is going to come up again in a few months, however, since I'll likely be transferred to our Homeland Security division... so I will have to check with Security at my employer. Most if not all of my co-workers know that I travel to Canada frequently and that my girlfriend is a Canadian citizen.
