Milestone tracking
One tap per milestone. Context on every single one.
Your IRCC account tells you a status changed. Our checklist tells you whether that's early, on time, or worth a follow-up. Every milestone carries a typical-day marker - the community median for files with your exact pathway and stream.
- 13 milestones, every pathway: Express Entry (CEC, FSW, FST), PNP (Express Entry linked) and spousal/family sponsorship, with the list adapting automatically (P1/P2 portal emails for inland, PPR for outland).
- Typical-day markers: "background check typically starts ~day 62 for files like yours." Waiting stops feeling like guessing.
- Background-check sub-stages: log criminality, security and information sharing from your own IRCC login. No other public dataset has this breakdown.
- Smart date checks: the tracker flags dates before your AOR or in the future, so your timeline stays clean and your cohort data stays honest.
- "Next up for you": always know which milestone to watch for and roughly when it should land.
Cohort insights
See how your cohort is progressing. Everyone moves at their own pace.
IRCC broadly works through files in intake order - so the only comparison that means anything is people who got AOR the same month as you, on the same stream. The moment you enter your AOR date, you're placed in that cohort automatically.
- Milestone reach rates: what % of your cohort has the BIL, has cleared medicals, has background checks running, has decisions. Updated as members log.
- Your position, pinned: instantly see if you're ahead of, level with, or behind the pack - and by how many milestones.
- Browse any month: peek at the cohorts ahead of you to preview what's coming, or behind you to see the queue building.
- Inland vs outland, separated: because a Vancouver-processed inland file and a New Delhi outland file are different journeys.

Community timelines
Real applicants, real timelines - anonymous, always.
Every person who tracks their PR with GetNorthPath adds one more anonymous timeline to the community. Scroll the live feed to see who just got a PPR, whose background check just started, and how long each stage really took for files like yours.
- Filter by what matters: pathway, AOR month, inland/outland, country. Find the timelines that look like yours.
- Milestone-by-milestone dots: see at a glance which stage each file is at and on which day it got there.
- Anonymous by design: display handles only. No names, no emails, no UCI or application numbers, ever.
- Your timeline gives back: the milestones you log make the medians sharper for the next applicant. That's the whole idea.
Beyond the dashboard
The wait is easier with people in it with you.
Numbers tell you where your file is. The community tells you what it felt like, what to do next, and celebrates with you when the golden email lands. Join free - the tracker works fully without it, but it's better with it.
WhatsApp cohort groups
Fast-moving groups organized by AOR month - the same people you're grouped with in the tracker, talking in real time.
- Status updates the moment they happen
- Ask about your stage, get answers from people at it
- PPR & eCOPR celebrations, daily
Facebook community
The slower, searchable side - detailed timeline posts, stage-by-stage guides from members, and threads you can find months later.
- Long-form timeline write-ups you can search
- Stage explainers written by people who lived them
- A record of how past cohorts moved
Getting started
Two steps. About two minutes.
No account, no GCKey, no application number. You check your status in your own IRCC account - this is where you make sense of it.
Your application
Pick your pathway (CEC, FSW, FST, PNP Express Entry linked or sponsorship), whether you're inland or outland, and your AOR date. That's enough to build your timeline and place you in your cohort.
Your milestones
Tick milestones as they appear in your IRCC account. Your dashboard tracks days since AOR, journey progress, your expected decision window and what's next - while your cohort view updates live.
In your pocket
Every day of the wait, in one place.
Log each milestone as it lands. AORTrack counts the days, keeps your checklist in order and shows how your cohort is moving - so the wait feels a little lighter.
