Neither good nor bad news (I hope): we received a request for additional documents from Ottawa. Guess in our stress to provide all the necessary documentation for everything else, we forgot to provide proof that my husband actually lives in Ontario! Oops!
I believe this means they've at least opened our file
Here's the email, if it's helpful for others:
