Citizen but not really...

You aren’t a citizen until you have the papers in your hot little fist. Sorry, but that is the way it is. Wait and apply in the regular decision rounds if it is important that you can say you are Canadian.

Your papers could come through tomorrow, or they could come through months from now. I know of a case in the US where the delay from final approval until the citizenship oath was two full years.
