Today I received an email but not able to make an account- that's the email:

Since I couldn’t access my citizenship application tracker, I called IRCC and was informed that I’m scheduled to take the citizenship test between August 28 and September 26. I’m still waiting for the test invitation email. They also said that my background check is still in progress.

The IRCC agent also confirmed that the tracker is still down.

For those who have received their AOR and, like me, are unable to access the tracker, I suggest calling IRCC to get an update. It definitely gave me peace of mind.

I think this started happening after the tracker went back, people who started getting AOR around Aug 14 can't access the tracker and no one is getting any updates.

Based on several updates in other forums , tracker is not current, those who were not able to create tracker are able to get updates from IRCC , many got test invite and those updates are not reflecting in their tracker status , look for updates in the email either in spam folder, those are current , this is happening after tracker glitch couple of weeks back.

Yesterday, I received my citizenship tracker email, along with a request for fingerprints. I completed my fingerprints the same day at an RCMP-accredited fingerprinting agent.

I still cant create a tracker account, has anyone who received their AOR on or after August 20, 2026, been able to create their Citizenship Application Tracker account?

Wonder if anyone got background check passed on tracker since Aug 13?

I've been following 2 trackers (myimmitracker and the google sheets) and both haven't shown any movement on background checks since Aug 13, despite having other updates like AOR and test invites.

Same here. Submitted on May 19, and still waiting. But there is some information wrong in my application. How about you?
