The confusing bit is “when we receive”. Does receive here mean when we hit ‘submit’ or does it mean when they acknowledge receipt (i.e. AOR)?
Most likely AOR but i think its when they actually assign your app to some IRCC Sloth

Since it's a holiday, I was crunching some numbers for us Montreal August folks that have taken the test, from the 2021 spreadsheet. Some findings:
Now, the suckier part is that for online applications, the Test to DM number is worse at about 120-150 days on average.
If the trend holds, we're going to be here a while. Sigh.
- The average time from Test to DM is about 100 days.
- The average time from DM to Oath Ceremony is about 30 days.

Thanks for the info. So I guess Sept/Oct timeframe if we're lucky. I fully expect most work to stop on June 24 and pick up again at the end of August.
I am glad we didn't make any travel plans. Between my missing PR card, the citizenship application and the chaos at the passport office, we are pretty much stuck in Canada.

yeah. I have taken a chance by booking of travel in July/early-August with full mental prep to cancel if things change.
How come/why?
Has it been your experience that much gets done here after the Fête Nationale? Lots of people on vacation.

Glad i left Montreal
I'm already planning my exit... will have to wait for this Citizenship process to conclude though, to avoid any address confusions when they send out the Certificate.
I can never understand IRCC.
Nothing for months while you'all got all those status updates. And bang BG complete and then straight to Test invite. Everything else is still In progress.

I see ceremonies upto Jul 6 have already been scheduled so far. So, we're not going to get our Oaths done this month (whoever doesn't have an Oath date yet, of course). (Unless they're hot-adding people as DMs come in).
Lol at this point I'll be happy with a DM

The fact that IRCC has extended the processing time from 12 to 27 months speaks volume in regards to backlog applications from previous years. I hope and pray that we all become Canadian Citizens by the end of this year….otherwise they’ll face another backlog phase next year which is : PR card renewal this time around
