February 2025 - Citizenship Applications

[deshu]

folks whats the difference between those two trackers , one asks me only to set my iuc and application number the other asks for more information like DOB country of birth etc to create and account , what is the correct link ??
https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register
https://ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register

I believe that at least first one is correct.
I have received an email informing the tracker with URL ( https://tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca/en/register ) from IRCC ( ircc.cecscdonotreply-nepasrepondrecscec.ircc@cic.gc.ca ), 5 days after AOR. So I registered and use tracker through this URL only.
So far I was asked only UCI, application number, then a verification code sent by email and to create password.

Physical Presence Days: 1116
Application: Family (2 Adults)
Application sent: February 13, 2025
Delivered: February 13, 2025
AOR: February 28, 2025
Application Tracker Mar 03, 2025

Tracker updated Mar 13, 2025 - Test scheduled for Mar 21 - Apr 19 2025. However, I have not received the official test email.

if you haven't gotten an email invitation to test 6 calendar days before the test, I think call IRCC is the fastest. Call IRCC support centre to make sure they have the right contact information for you, and get the link to test:
IRCC contact
1-888-242-2100
After you enter your UCI
Press 1 to confirm UCI
Press 3
Press 4
Press 0

Fingers crossed

Discover Canada (PDF) - IRCC says "The only official study guide for the citizenship test is Discover Canada"

A few more free prep test:
Becitizen.ca - Practice test (3 of them are free, and you can simulate a real test)
Free online Canadian Citizenship Practice Test (100 questions - some are old though) - you can choose your province
Free Canadian Citizenship Practice Test (414 questions - a few of their answers are incorrect)

where did you study from?

From the Official book provided by Gov of Canada- Discovery Canada

Update:
Today on March 19 around 4am, Tracker updated and below two were added.
Mar 18, 2025:Scheduled for citizenship test (between March 18 2025 and April 17 2025)
Mar 12, 2025: Activity status updated: Citizenship test

I noticed that an official test invite email and tracker shows different date as "test end date".
IRCC call centre agent said the end date is the same, he confirmed actual end date and time is April 16 23:59:59 (the same as my invite email shows) and on his side he can see "April 17" due to timezone difference, then he said that's why.

I've already got test passed yesterday March 18.
