FSW-Outland 2023 Tracker - Express Entry

[RTAHIR]

I have made this thread for future reference and discussion/tracking on the 2023 FSW.
My application is this:

1) Submitted/AOR: 8th FEB
2)Medical Passed: 16th FEB
3) Biometric request: 16th FEB
4) Biometric done: 17th FEB(in my file i see the biometrics number but in tracker it is still showing under process and we need your biometrics)
5) Other documents: 21st FEB (Biometric was done of my spouse only, I applied for a student in 2017 and I was not sure whether to provide biometrics again and I had no info about my UCI number. So they sent a document mentioning that they will refund the amount)

Hi,
I guess you applied from Turkey like me. I am a Tunisian living in Turkey, I applied 2 days after you so I guess our timelines might be similar. Here is mine:
FSW-O, COR Turkey
Profile Created on: 23 Jan
ITA: 02 Feb
AOR: 10 Feb
MEP/BIL/UCI linked on: 20 Feb
Biometric done: 21 Feb

So we are almost on the same boat. We can expect similar timelines.
I made this separate group for Outland FSW because in other group it is hard to track timelines because everyone is there.
I wish you best luck.

Thanks! Best luck to you too!

-Small update from my side. I got a ghost update which I know doesn't matter at all but wanted to inform all impatient people like me.
-My BIL was on 16th FEB, which was completed on 17th FEB.
-I was able to see the biometric number on the profile right after that but on GC key it says ' we need your fingerprints'. and on the tracker, it was IN PROGRESS.
- Yesterday I saw a ghost update and when logged in my Biometrics on GC-KEY is now 8th FEB. Although 8th FEB is my AOR date and my biometric date is 17th FEB. On the tracker, it is still IN PROGRESS.
-I called them on 8th March so on the tracker I can see there is written that 'we received your query on 8th March'.

I also called them on the 8th of March and in my tracker account I got the same “we received your inquiry” yesterday.

Why did you call them this early? You had any issues with your application?

Yes, I had 2 issues. I was concerned about my Biometrics as I was given 30 days timeframe to provide that which I did but it was still not updated on Portal. Plus My son's country of citizenship was not correctly written on Tracker. Plus wanted to know VO.

What was the outcome of the call? If you can post those details here, it might be helpful for others that are looking for the same info.

Sure let me provide the details:
1) About biometrics: I was told that they received your biometrics on the same day you provided them. As no officer has yet looked into your application after that date, that may be the reason why you don't see the update. As the status was, 'YOUR ACTION IS REQUIRED'.
2) About Son'sCountry of citizenship issue: He asked me to raise a web form.
3) About visa office: He told me that my VO is Sydney, Nova Scotia.
