My opinion is if they can process an application in 2-3 months they can process all applications in such time period, but unfortunately that is not how it works in reality and couples from non visa exempt countries will have to endure unnecessary delays.
I assumed that it relied on how difficult it is to verify the information that is provided in the application. Presumably, it's much easier when evaluating Americans because of the close ties between Canada and the US?

Indeed the cooperation between the two governments is an immense factor.

I received a request for extra documents today for a Dutch Police certificate. They didn't attach the letter I needed from them to request the Police Certificate, so I replied immediately asking for the letter. The automated response says it can take up to 20 working days to reply to my email. I was wondering, how long does it usually take them to respond to emails?

Received my COPR in the mail today! I figured it wouldn't take long seeming Michigan isn't very far.

It's valid until January of next year, one year from the date I completed my medical.

Now, a quick question: I was already planning to visit my husband this Saturday (taking bus across border), and staying for the Islamic holidays of Ramadhan & Eid, then we would return to the US to get all my things and confirm my residency together (so sometime in July). We would do it now, but with Ramadhan coming up we'd rather wait until after. And I think it'd be much easier to cross the border with all of my belongings while confirming my PR rather than after. Is this OK even though I've already been issued COPR?

You may ask the officer at border if you can do PR on the next time you enter in Canada. I don't guess they will have any issue with it because it has validity till January next year. But better bring COPR along with you in case.
