At the end of this month I’m at 7 months without a test date scheduled

Re: Citizenship Application Timeline
Unrelated question to timelines but do you need to advise IRCC if you have become commmon-law since submitting your application, or do I just tell them at my interview?

It is annoying because my PR came through in 6 months and I was hoping to be able to vote this year, which isn't looking likely with those timelines

You don't want a conservative government. Trust me. They'll cut everything and sell lies to the public.
ANYWAY haha...I called the CIC (or IRCC now called) and they told me the Mississauga office is the busiest in the country and leads to the longest timelines. That's where I'm being processed through.

If not you need to give them a call as that’s well over 12 months processing.
