I looked up in the August applications tab, their BG check is being completed now and are getting test invites. I guess 1-2 more months. We might start to see movement in May.

It’s not exactly like that. I think now they’re working on applications from July up to Sept. not just August

and Citizenship certificate - 17 months

Not very good. For that long wait (27 months) the passport can expire and not everyone can re-new, considering what's going on in East Europe.

I do not want to go to politics, but "Ukraine/Russia issue is almost settled" statement is not correct, it's far from over and nobody knows how this ends.

Me 2 dont want to go to politics, what i meant was, Ukraine/Russia issue from IRCC perspective is now old, IRCC must have priority actioned on any potential file belonging to Ukraine, why the timeline suddenly increase from 12 months to 27 months. Am i missing anything recent ?

I'm not clear about the 27 months processing time, as per the citizenship tracker, average time from date of submission to Oath ceremony is about 240 days ~ 8-9 months, why is the processing time is mentioned as 27 months, Am I wrong in assuming that one become officially a Canadian Citizen after completion of Oath ceremony, is n't?
