Sorry I've not been around, but quick update:
10th July - email from London requesting I send in my RCMP check (was FedEx delivered 14th June) after telling them they definitely had it somewhere in their office my ECAS updated to decision made on 20th July, so just waiting now!
What a journey!

They use the computer to assess situations but there is a delay from receipt of documents to update of the computer. (It was worse in the entirely manual system used years ago.) You are getting to the end at last.

DECISION MADE!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh frig I hope it's a good one!!
We received husband's application for permanent residence on February 8, 2012.
We started processing husband's application on July 13, 2012.
Medical results have been received.
A decision has been made on Husbands's application. The office will contact Husband's concerning this decision.
It's done a whole month before I thought they would even start looking at it!!! Sooo excited!!!

If you're able to do it I would generally recommend doing it; however, as I said, there's a lot of disparity on the forum about how people handled this. Personally we did 10 declarations, mix of friends, and family, and two were notarised, as per the instructions.
HTH!

We have been very lucky as the spousal route has taken 3.5 months for us from complete file arriving in Canada to receipt of COPR. London was so fast that they responded they received husband's file but were missing the Quebec selection certificate before Quebec processed it! Quebec only took 2 weeks. 
I am very impressed with the process.
now have 5 months to sort life and land!

Others have received PPR by post; hard to say which you'll get, given everyone seems to have different methods!

Ours was a Passport Request (or visa-exempt equivalent!) - it was sent to my husband (the sponsored person)'s email address. It requested some photos (because, you know, they haven't requested photos at all through this whole process!), and a photocopy of his entire passport, and he had to fill out a form - that was about it. That was mailed last week; I think we get back the actual COPR that we land with in December in the next month or so.

I made sure to include every page of my passport with the most recent docs I sent, so hopefully they will use this and just send me COPR
No emails yet..
