Congrats!

Mine is a similar situation (Canadian spouse, US Citizen, but no children) and has moved roughly as quickly as yours did, so I'm hoping once I do my biometrics next monday that it'll finish as quickly as yours has as well!

How come you had to do biometrics? my wife is a US citizen and they refunded the biometrics fees that we paid.

Outland applicants have to do biometrics. Inland applicants are exempt.

We applied in Dec 2018. Maybe rules changed since?

No it is not. Not a lot of people immigrate from the U.S. to Canada, so it goes a lot faster...
