How to track updates for EPE according to CICC’s 90-Day Cut-Off ? What are the sources ?

One common concern among EPE candidates is:
“How do I make sure I have covered all the important updates for my exam?”

The good news is that you do not need to keep chasing immigration updates until exam day. CICC applies a 90-day cut-off for the EPE. Changes made within that period will not be reflected in exam questions..

However, not everything published before the cut-off is relevant to the EPE.

Use the EPE Blueprint and Essential Competencies as your filter. If you are unsure, seek guidance from professionals or from the candidates who successfully completed EPE —but always verify from the official source.

🎯 How Do I Know What Is Relevant?

Before adding an update, check these three points:

📅

Before my applicable 90-day cut-off?

📋

Did a rule, policy or procedure actually change?

🎯

Relevant to an EPE competency or knowledge area?

If your answer reached to “yes” for all the three questions asked above, it deserves attention.
General immigration news may not require the same level of study for EPE.

Do not rely only on Facebook posts, WhatsApp discussions, Google results or AI summaries when something is unclear.

Use them for understanding, but always verify from the official source.
