As long as you are not claiming points for your spouse education, you should be good. This is just my understanding. Let us see what others have to say on this.

It's been so silent here!
Did anyone get their PPs back after stamping? How long did it take? Did you have to send PPs to Ottawa?

Mine on 8th August. 
Looks like they are taking 30+ days to send passport /COPR back.
As most of us from a country that requires original passport to be sent, it kinda adds a lots of nervousness and stress. Thoughts like how I will fly home if there is a urgent need to visit home, what if CIC misplaces passport and respond 'we don't care' when inquired, what if something goes wrong in customs keep crossing the mind.
They definitely need a better process than mailing in place to deal with original passports. Something like VFS or some local arrangement like sending to an Embassy in US, and they sending it to Canada etc.

Your application took 4 months to get approved. I am wondering if that's the latest trend for US applicants.
Folks, please update your timelines in this thread so we can get a better picture.
Yeah but if I didn't get a document request that was an error by CIC (requested an RCMP even though I have never been to Canada before), it would have taken about 3.5 months. That's pretty fast either way in my book!
Goto tracker and check using country of residence US filter. I think most whom I know got ppr between 85-95 days.
