Does a move across provinces affect your application?

I recently got engaged and my girlfriend wants me to move from BC to Ontario as she has most of her family there. I will be eligible to apply for citizenship in about a couple of months. Is it a good idea to move across provinces just before I apply. For one thing, most of my local ties have been within the province I have been staying for the last several years and my application will be processed based on my new location where I will not have any history. On the other hand, if I move right after I apply then I have to update my application with my new address (in the new province). Which may also affect the processing as it depends heavily on the location. So I am not sure what's the best option even though my girlfriend is okay if I delay the move by a couple of months. Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
