I know it could be an anomaly but it looks like May 2020 applicants are getting left behind! I am sure it is just a lack of patience on my part but there the spreadsheets show that June applicants are 8% ahead of May! I am also an Ottawa applicant - so it seems that Ottawa is particularly slow right now! Good luck everyone! Positive vibes we can get this done by the end of the summer.

We’re still accepting new applications for citizenship.
We’re currently finalizing most applications we received between
May 12 and 18, 2019 ?
If your application is complex, it may take us longer to process it.
there you go.

there you go.
Thanks @tco23. I know there are many from 2019 not yet resolved. I also watch closely 2020 applicants from every month and indeed 2021. Trying to plan your life around what can appear at times to be a very random process can be very challenging for some (me at least). I understand also that the people who put forward their data (helpfully) for the spreadsheet is very very random and might not reflect the actual numbers coming through.That said I have been part of this forum for 8 years and find that the spreadsheets are a good indication of what is happening in reality. I am not sure that the March 2019 date as stated on the IRCC website it helpful for those of us much in need of clarity when they are in fact processing 2021 applicants regularly.
I am just a little frustrated to see the May 2020 applicants apparently being left behind - and in particular it is rare to see Ottawa applicants being dealt with in any month in 2020 at all. Many thanks.
