Hi!

So I'm traveling to my country and I have to get a new passport. In the new passport my last name will be changed to my married name. The PR card holds my maiden name.
So my question is: Can I return to Canada with the new passport (married name) and the old PR card (maiden name). I can still show the old passport (which wouldn't be valid for traveling, but would match the name on the PR card)?

Yes, and a copy of your marriage license.
