My guess would be 5-6 month for a routine case.

Just an fyi, during my interview on test day, I was asked to provide translation of all Saudi stamps in my PP, as Saudi stamps dates are in Arabic only, they were fine with UAE stamps as they are both English/Arabic.

IRCC's 'Regional Itinerant' temporary office in Medicine Hat AB is now showing on the website as having been set for April 18th to 21st. MH AB is the closest IRCC venue to me (under 2hrs' drive time), whereas both Saskatoon & Regina are both ~5hrs' drive away. I called IRCC to ask if my file would go to MH as it's the closest venue to me geographically, but they told me that if a citizenship applicant wants to be processed at an IRCC venue that's out-of-province, then we have to write to them to request that. If I'd known that beforehand, then I'd have included such a request along with my Application. IRCC's website says in plain English that they have each applicant's file processed at the nearest IRCC office to each applicant's home address in Canada, but it seems that they've left out the in-province bit from that sentence/descriptor. So any rural applicant west of Swift Current needs to be aware of this, and consider the option of writing to IRCC to request having their file processed at MH AB. Being a native speaker of English, I'm left wondering what other IRCC sentences/descriptors/instructions have been poorly or ambiguously or misleadingly worded. Anyhow, as seems typical with bureaucracies, rural folk need to be vigilantly aware and be ready to advocate for themselves.
