In her Instagram post, Lubov said

I'm truly fortunate to be granted Canadian Citizenship and internationally represent the best country in the world, proud to wear the Maple leaf and be a part of this big family!!!!!!!!

Re: Lubov Ilyushechkina is now a Canadian citizen
This is wonderful news!!
There is also a recently uploaded interview with them from GoldenSkate on Youtube (forgive me....I'm away at the cottage on dialup internet and it won't allow me to load youtube and link you to the video). It's a nice long interview, though sadly they are very clear that this will be their last season competing as amateurs. I had hoped we would be treated to a few more years of them in competition, hopefully capitalizing on the many retirements that are likely to occur after this Olympics.

Here is a link to the 46 minutes interview done by Ted Flett for Golden Skate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GOYsLaoFuAY
I haven't had time to list to all of it yet. It was done before the citizenship ceremony.
One factor to consider is that Dylan has had several injuries over the past few seasons plus he just turned 33 years old yesterday. He may see "the writing on the wall" regarding his ability to compete at a high level.
