No need to worry. I am Nov 26 applicant still waiting DM. I had my spouse on file since day1.
CIC agent said to me:"We verified the information you provided and are pleased to inform you that everything appears to be in order with your application. It is still within processing times."
 
Adding spouse to application delays process makes total sense. Your spouse also need to be background checked & security checked that IRCC/RCMP/CSIS need extra time to review documents, investigate & writing report etc.

I added my spouse in January but she is a canadian citizen.. would that delay my application?

May or may not. depends how much stuff they need to investigate. It may be so little that you won't notice

I doubt it.. they would probably do an investigation for her if she was not a canadian citizen since she already is a Canadian citizen and not asking for PR what is the point of doing her pointless background check.

That is not the point. She could be a security risk regardless of the nationality (Canada has convicted citizens of terrorism, and considered stripping Citizenship of those who have dual citizenship)
And possible criminal history by spouse that could prevent OP from eligible for PR by association.
