A little bit of that, is better in the long run than a whole lot of super-accurate ±5° tracking.
Just as a word of caution (I don't know the rules for Canadian IR tests) but here in the UK, if you excessively track outside of +/- 5 degrees on your IR test, you will immediately 'partial pass' that section of your test meaning you have to repeat that part of your test. Worse still, you can fail your entire test if it happens twice.
In the UK, it's well known that your initial IR test is the hardest flight test of your life - afterwards it all gets easier for evermore
Read the tolerances beforehand to help towards a successful pass!
Good luck
