This processing time tells you how long it took us to process most complete applications in the past. It starts the day we receive your complete application and ends when we make a decision

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?

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.Glad i left Montreal

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
