I got my PR in months but I've been waiting for citizenship now for 2.5 years

…that's disquieting and disturbing to read. I had not realized that the Harper government had been that bad to immigration and citizenship. (I assumed it was bad because it's Harper, but I didn't know it was that bad.)

I got my citizenship about ten years ago (I only know because I'm on my third passport), about six months after applying and taking the test. I had been resident for just under four years at the time.

The official average wait time is currently 25 months, from what I can find, if you are in the "routine" category (35 months if you aren't): http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/canada/cit-pr...
