Generally, iCloud sync is reliable. Sometimes calendar events, contacts or other content cannot sync between the devices within seconds that it should take. If you encounter the same issue, let us discuss some tricks for making things running smoothly:

Whether iCloud is working?

iOS: Settings>Apple ID>iCloud>iCloud Drive. Toggle to On

Mac: System Preferences>iCloud>ensure all the iCloud services you want to sync are checked.

Force Sync

Once setup process of the system is completed appropriately, this easy trick can be used for forcing iCloud Calenders and Contacts to sync:
