Two tools, one journey
The IRCC tracker shows your status. We show what it means.
Always trust the official IRCC tracker for your file's status - nothing replaces it. But it shows a snapshot with no day counts, no history, and no way to know if your pace is normal. That's the gap we fill. Here's exactly what each tool does, side by side, so you know which to open and when.
Official = source of truthContext = our jobNo GCKey ever
The official IRCC status tracker is the authoritative source for your file - always trust it over any third-party tool. Its one limitation is that it shows current status with no timing, history, or comparison. AORTrack adds exactly that layer: day counts, expected windows, and how your file sits against everyone who applied the same month.AORTrack is not affiliated with IRCC and has no access to IRCC systems. You log what the official tracker shows you.
Side by side

| Authoritative file status | ||
| Official decision of record | ||
| Days since AOR | ||

The honest version
Use both. Here's the workflow.
1 · Check IRCC for status
Your IRCC account is the source of truth for what stage your file is at. Nothing here changes that.
2 · Log it in AORTrack
Tick the milestone and its date. Two minutes. We turn a bare status into a day count, a trend, and a cohort comparison.
3 · See if you're on pace
Know whether your file is ahead, level, or behind others who applied the same month - and roughly when the next stage should land.
Common questions
AORTrack vs IRCC, answered
Does AORTrack replace the IRCC status tracker?+
No, and you should always trust the official IRCC tracker for your file's actual status. AORTrack complements it by answering the question the official tracker can't: 'is my timeline normal for files like mine?' You log what the IRCC tracker shows, and we put it in context.
Does AORTrack connect to my IRCC account?+
No. We never ask for your GCKey, UCI or application number, and we have no access to IRCC systems. You check your status in your own IRCC account, then log the milestones here. Be cautious of any tool that claims it can read your IRCC file directly.
What does AORTrack show that the IRCC tracker doesn't?+
Day counts since AOR, a history of when each stage changed, typical-day markers for your pathway and stream, an expected decision window, and how your file compares to your AOR-month cohort. The official tracker shows current status only, with no timing context.
Is the official IRCC tracker accurate?+
The IRCC status tracker is the authoritative source for your file's status and should always be trusted over any third-party tool. Its limitation isn't accuracy - it's that it shows a snapshot without timing, history or comparison, which is the gap community tools fill.
Is AORTrack free?+
Yes - the tracker is free with no signup required to start. It's a community tool. Your logged milestones help sharpen the timing data other applicants see, and theirs helps you.
