I am unable to register to track my application progress?
Try manually entering your details instead of copy/paste. If that fails, reach out to IRCC via webform/call.
What are typical timelines for various steps (test invite, background check etc)?
Review “ add link to the sheet” for averages and timelines from prior months.
