And there it is -- indications of reversal: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/09/canada-citizenship-russian-blogger-ukraine-war

that article is super confusing. the first paragraph reads:

Canada has reversed course after initially blocking a Russian anti-war activist from receiving citizenship because she had run afoul of Moscow’s harsh laws criminalizing dissent over the invasion of Ukraine.

which makes it sound like they allowed her to be a citizen, but the rest of the article is about how it didn't let her.

I think it's been quietly editted or the wrong link was posted. Here's a brand new article from CBC. It seems to be break news.
