How was the exam? The study guide is the best source of information?

It's pretty easy. You just need to read it carefully because they have some tricky questions.

anyone got any kind of tracker update at all since 8/15?

as far as i see, most if not all people, even those with access to tracker login, haven't seen any updates in the last 2 weeks. many got test invites but nothing on the tracker, including test and background check. can someone confirm?

Same with me

Yes, I just read the Discover Canada twice and practice thru the richmond library citizenship mock exam. It's 150 questions

I agree. The richmond library citizenship mock exam was good help for me too.

I am March 2026 applicant. My last update was on July 28th on my test completed status. Nothing after that.

Hello Everyone,

Applied for Citizenship- May 2026
Got AOR- Aug 26 2026

I cannot create tracker account as of today, is anyone else also facing the same issue?

Any help is appreciated

Thanks,

My partner had to call IRCC to raise a ticket. Seems like it is an ongoing issue. He was told by the agent that the tracker has regular issues such as this.

Has anyone here received their AOR on or before August 26 and is still waiting for the Test Invite?

How do you guys call IRCC? Every time I call them, at the last step, the automated voice says that, due to the high volume of calls, they can't transfer the call to an agent. Called several times a day, but it's the same.

Honestly, I call right at 8am on the dot and still wait ages. The IVR is an absolute nightmare.
