Thank you all for the helpful advice. I believe my name being fairly common was most likely the cause. I just received my tracking number today.

If your name is common, if you know there’s another “you” out there, it may take a little bit longer for the administrative processing to be completed. Your status will go from refused to issued. Don’t panic when it goes to refused. Hopefully there won’t be much more of a delay! 

@CanadianGirl3 - I got back my passport today ! Hope your's will arrive soon..

I got my tracking number today. I do opt for home delivery via Purolator. Yet to receive. Its in Transit. Hopefully you will get an update by tomorrow or Monday

My wife had one vaccine in Canada and the other in the US and they were accepted. 

Flu shot and covid need to be completed prior to medical. They will not release the medical without it. Other series of Vaccines can be finished in the US such as HepB which I think is still 3 shots. 
Read you questions wrong. They can be done prior to your medical anywhere, just need proof.

AP =  administrative processing
 
Everyone goes through AP.  Typically, it's short - tying up loose ends with background checks, etc - and you get your passport back within 2 or so weeks.  HOWEVER, if the CO in Montreal deems anything out of place, you can be put into an extended AP period and asked to provide more information or, worse yet, be handed a DS-5535 which is a more extreme vetting.  Most AP cases are missing medicals, incorrect PRC, issues with the I-864 but are still taking 6-12 weeks for review.  The later requires extensive travel history for 15 years to be provided in addition to other requested information.  Thus far, very few people have made it out of Montreal DS-5535 purgatory without filing a WOM.  
 
This is not to scare you, but rather to inform you of the challenges you may face.  The risk with consular processing is that the assumption is you do not life in the US - you live in the country where your interviewing consulate is and all information provided by the consulate says do not plan to move to the USA until your visa is in hand.  Others have mentioned the risks with being on a TN and potentially being denied reentry into the US.  Most people who've been stuck in DS-5535 purgatory have been able to visit on a B1 tourist visa, but some have faced scrutiny from the CBP officers.  
 
On the positive side, if you make it through unscathed, you will enter the US, able to work and remove the restriction on your SSN as well as travel without issue.  There's a spreadsheet in my signature that shows timelines of IR/CR-1's in Montreal if you want to get a feel for how long it's taking and who's been put into extended AP.
