Hi! Congrats! Since you live in the US, I wanted to ask how did you get your photos taken? Rather where did you take it? From Walgreens/ CVS or from a professional photographer? If photographer, did they give you the picture as per the specifications? Just curious!
Montreal Visa Office ... Let's connect here.

Thanks. I took it at CVS. Although they were reluctant, all they had to do was change the computer settings to 'Canada'. Their cutter is customized for US type passports only, so I used a pair of scissors to cut it myself.
AOR Sept 2019 | CoR: USA | FSW-O
My initial VO was Ottawa but I got married earlier this year and added my spouse to the application. I then found out that my file was moved to Montreal. She got her medicals cleared in July 2021.
They requested her biometrics on Oct 8. Biometrics was given on Oct 12.
I got a re-medical request on Oct 22, I got medicals passed on Nov 02.
Got a ghost update on Nov 03.
I guess the waiting game begins now!

Someone also from VO Montreal posted that they got a ghost update today too.
"I received a ghost update, FSW Inland AOR December 22, 2020.
Would anyone know what this means, thank you"
My own AOR is also Dec, but I have a representative and I don't get emails directly from the IRCC, so I never know if there are GUs.

Hoping for the second hypothesis!
I think everyone I saw that got a GU today and knew their VO was from Montreal and AOR around Nov/Dec 2020.
I remember a similar batch of GUs happened for Montreal AOR Oct/Nov 2020 at the very beginning of October and some of them got good news not long after that.
I wish the same is happening now for Nov/Dec 20 Montreal folks

I am honestly hoping so.
The last time I got notes (at the end of Sept/21), it wasn't.
I requested it again a few weeks ago. Still waiting for their answer. I'll keep you posted.
