Default Citizenship application processing times at CIC

Guys:
Anyone recently got citizenship? Can you give us an idea of how long it took? Checking the CIC Website it looks like 5 months from receiving the application to be able to check on e-CAS, to 12 months to ceremony. Is this realistic?
I applied in February 2009 - and heard nothing since...

Oh how things have changed. In 1975, as a British subject, I just went to the Citizenship Office in Brampton. I paid $5 or whatever it was then, answered a couple of questions, put my right hand on The Good Book, swore the Oath and that was it. No big ceremony, nothing. I have never regretted that day !
