Is the IRCC Tracker Down?

The official IRCC application status tracker (ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca) goes offline from time to time — for scheduled weekend maintenance, unplanned outages, or upgrades as IRCC moves more application types into it. IRCC does not run a public status page, so when the tracker fails to load or rejects logins, applicants are left guessing.

This site is an independent tracker of IRCC processing times — it does not show your personal application status, but it stays available when the official tracker is down, and it keeps the full history of how long every application category takes.

Our latest successful fetch of official IRCC data: July 7, 2026 (IRCC publication date). The IRCC data feed itself is reachable and being monitored.

What to do while the official tracker is down

  1. Try a private/incognito window — expired cookies cause many tracker login failures.
  2. Check your IRCC secure account — it is a separate system and is often up when the tracker is not.
  3. See current official processing times or the live estimates on this site.
  4. For urgent cases, call the IRCC Client Support Centre at 1-888-242-2100 (within Canada).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the official IRCC tracker down right now?

IRCC does not publish a public status page for its application tracker. If the tracker at ircc-tracker-suivi.apps.cic.gc.ca shows an error, won't accept your login, or displays a maintenance notice, the outage is usually temporary — most resolve within hours. Scheduled maintenance often happens on weekends.

Why is the IRCC status tracker not working?

Common causes are scheduled maintenance windows, high traffic after IRCC publishes updates, expired sessions or browser cache issues, and periodic upgrades when IRCC migrates application types into the tracker. Trying a private browser window or clearing cookies resolves many login problems.

How can I check my application while the tracker is down?

You can sign in to your IRCC secure account (which is a separate system from the status tracker), use the web form to request an update, or call the IRCC Client Support Centre at 1-888-242-2100 from within Canada. Processing time estimates for every category remain available on this site.

When will the IRCC tracker be back up?

IRCC does not announce restoration times for unplanned outages. Most interruptions last from a few minutes to a day. If the outage is part of scheduled maintenance, the tracker typically returns the same weekend.
