If so, these things just take time. Every time the Holy Father canonizes someone, "raises them to the altar", he is speaking "ex cathedra", in other words, infallibly, and that is not something to be taken lightly. There is a lot of formality to get through, a Mass is written for that saint, the prayer that is to be used on her feast is written, and the acts of canonization, the record of what she did in life has to be completed. Then the date is set, people are invited, the dignitaries have to be there, etc.
