FYI. This document, obtained through a freedom of information request, has plans for how IRCC will process citizenship grant and proof (certificate of citizenship) in fiscal year 2023-24, main thing being to process enough to get to within the 12 month targets by end of the period. Note that government fiscal year is April 1 to March 31, so most of the effects they refer to should already be mostly complete. I don't see a date for the doc but assume it would have been at least in close-to final draft at sometime before April 1 last year, and finalized not too longer after April 1 (if not before); it's driven in part by budget allocations etc so probably in sync with that process.
Reminder that as I understand it, the "12 month target" is - like other IRCC targets and timelines - formulated as the time period ('ageing' cohort) such that 80% of the apps from X months ago have been finalized.
A few other notes:
-there are estimates of where the timelines would be by the end of the period, I don't know where they are at now with that.
-they actually targetted getting the 'proof of citizenship' timeline down dramatically from where it stood a year ago, i.e. to four months.
-there are some bits I don't fully understand (eg the difference between 'new applicants for proof of ... who applied in March 23 ... should expect processing times of around 4 months' - maybe this is a different measure than the 80% standard used in timeline projections.
Hope this is of interest.
