If Toronto is the largest city in Canada.Why is there not more Resources for IRCC?

You may want to go read that study guide for your citizenship test, so you can learn the difference between the federal (citizenship/IRCC) and provincial government (Wynne).

The GTA offices seem to succeed in meeting the delivery standards that IRCC has committed to, meaning that (at least) 80% of applications will be processed to completion within a 12 month period (and the most recent period for which figures are available they succeeded in processing 90% of all applications within that time frame).

If you feel very strongly about this, once you become a citizen maybe you should run to become an MP and make faster citizenship processing one of your policy points. Such a policy proposal no doubt comes with a cost, to be borne either by applicants, citizens, or both, so do make sure you've done the math about that part, too. I expect that raising taxes and fees to expedite citizenship applications may not be the most popular proposal to take to voters, but maybe it'll be the winning electoral platform.



You may want to do some research (and when you do so, google for "oath" rather than "outh"). From https://www.newham.gov.uk/Pages/Services/Citizenship-ceremonies.aspx#Whathappensatthegroupceremony :

As a new British citizen, you will be required to swear or affirm an oath of allegiance to the Queen and to make a public pledge to observe the laws of the country and uphold its democratic values.
​

If you find taking the oath a big problem you can choose not to take the oath/make the affirmation (and thus not become a Canadian citizen).

You can obviously ask Canadian citizens to only vote for candidates who would abolish or replace the oath, and then once that policy has changed apply for citizenship. I expect that's likely to take longer than just waiting the 12 months for a current application to be processed.

But pretty much every country expects a pledge, oath, or affirmation of some sort (to a monarch, a symbol, or a constitution or equivalent foundational body of law). So if you're upset because the scheduling for the ceremony isn't going fast enough to your liking, that particular policy change is unlikely to make much of a change. If you're upset because you're a republican, you are free to declare so the moment you've become a citizen and start campaigning for a (democratic) change to how the country is governed.

I am just giving my opinion freedom of speech.

But we all know very well that there are many areas where CIC can be modernized.

How about make all the forms digital, like make them barcoded once filled, so that data-entry (which takes forever) is made faster.
Nothing is worse than a clerk trying to enter data into the computer by reading a filled form.
Rather get them barcoded, simply scan the barcode and bam! data entry completed. That would speed up CPC-Sydney for sure.

It's a good idea, but the bottleneck will always be in the way of analysis. You could probably find a way to automate some of that as well. However, at some point, a human has to look at the file and make a determination, perhaps after doing some investigating. There will always be a human bottleneck in the process.

The initial idea is pretty cool, though.
