2021 and 2022 applicants had the same issues and :

1. A few of them wrote "it fixed automatically few days later" ;

2. One of them experienced that their invite informed a wrong test period that was different from the actual period IRCC system had. They left a phone number. Not sure if the number is still available, but here is a quote.

Hello everyone,
I spoke with an agent a few minutes ago and she told me that my test invitation is not scheduled on the correct date. I had it scheduled for July 8th to July 28th, but she gave me a new time schedule from July 22nd to August 11th. That is the reason why I am getting the message....You cant take test right now. The number I called was 888-242-2100 after you put your UCI number choose the options 1-3-4 and at the end 0 to speak with an agent. I tried to call them at least 50 times this morning, and finally when I got connected I had to wait 15 minutes for an agent to respond.

Anyone studying for the test? What’s the best source to study?

I believe the official resource - "Discover Canada" should be. Do not forget to study captions of images as well.

But also :

This thread is awesome. The first some posts are great summary, and there's tons of helpful links to free prep tests. Also historical chart though I forgot where of the thread had the chart.

Hello everyone,

So my application for citizenship (not submitted) expires today (March 17th). I couldn't submit due to lack of the full funds to process it (joint application with my wife), so will restart a new one after hers is expired too (March 20th).

I know its still early but I just wanted to ask:

1. Will my unsubmitted application naturally close on its own? The website doesn't allow me start another application while this one is still showing.
2. Since my wife's is a joint application with mine, and hers expires on March 20th, will the joint application automatically cancel on its own after today or after march 20th?
3. How do I restart a new application altogether?

Thank you so much for your insights, guys!

You will need to create a new IRCC account, not just applications.

Seems that IRCC tracker is typically updated between Wednesday and Sunday, because many people wrote that it takes 2 days (in most of cases).
Mine shows "Thursday late afternoon update" on Saturday morning, and Friday update came up on Sunday. 2 days, not 48 hours but whatever.

Can you share the link that you used to create the online tracker? it's been more than 7 days since I received AOR, I am still getting the error "Incorrect/Invalid information"—raised webform 4 days ago, still no resolution.

Physical Presence Days: 1538
Application: Single 1 Adult
Application sent: January 16, 2025

I am unable to create online tracking account. its been more than 30 hours since I have received AOR. It keep on saying the information doesnt match.

Any thoughts from the Gurus.

Test Updated: I called the IRCC number today in the morning. Just a suggestion have them call you back it's easier. I explained them about the test error and they send me link and that activated my test page. I took the test today. All the best to everyone, I hope you all succeed.
