Google usually updates streetview every year, though it typically isn't a comprehensive update on all streets. Residential areas usually only get updated every few years, many areas across the province still have 2015 images for residential areas.
Main arterial streets typically have new street view imagery every year however. I'm not sure if the pandemic will impact this years shooting.
Satellite images are typically updated every 2-3 years, however Google Earth typically gets additional satellite images added more regularly in the "historic imagery" feature, though it is usually of lower quality (often features clouds, is a lower resolution, etc.). Downtown Ottawa has April 2020 images available with this feature currently, but the base imagery used in Google Maps is from 2018.
