2016 CS Nebelhorn Trophy. In October 2016, they stepped onto their first Grand Prix podium, receiving bronze at the 2016 Skate Canada International. The following month, they won bronze at another Grand Prix event, the 2016 Cup of China. In January 2017, the pair obtained silver at the Canadian Championships. In February, they won the bronze medal at the 2017 Four Continents Championships in Gangneung, South Korea. They reached a career-best sixth place at the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Finland. Their placement combined with the seven-place finish of Duhamel/Radford guaranteed Canada three spots at the 2018 Winter Olympics. 2017–18 season Ilyushechkina became a Canadian citizen in September 2017, which was necessary to qualify to attend to the Olympics. The pair began the season at the 2017 CS Finlandia Trophy, where they finished in fourth place. They finished sixth at the 2017 Skate Canada International and fourth at the 2017 Internationaux de France. Three weeks before the 2018 Canadian Championships, the outcome of which would decide the composition of the Canadian Olympic team, Moscovitch suffered an accident where a door fell on him, leading to facial and hand lacerations, an injured hand, and a concussion, with the recovery diminishing his preparation time. As a result, Ilyushechkina/Moscovitch made errors in the free program, with Moscovitch stepping out of their side-by-side triple toe loop jump, and placed fourth in the competition. As a result, they were instead sent to the 2018 Four Continents Championships, where they also finished fourth. This would prove to be their last event together, as Moscovitch announced his retirement afterward.
