I am starting to panic, there are people in my category with the same timeline as me or even received file no after me who received their nominations, I am still waiting

My application was received 5th of Nov, File no. 19th Nov. waiting ever since then
I have a question if you guys know the answer please help. I just finished my first year of experience in Alberta after getting my degree which means I qualify for CEC now. I was wondering if I want to apply for CEC should I do anything about the AINP certificate if I get it later? (should I give it back or sth?) I am trying to make my mind between AINP and CEC and can't figure out which one suits me. I don't have the English test which means for CEC I should take it as soon as possible which takes for a while and by that time the AINP nomination may arrive ...
Can anyone help me with suggestions and ideas? and if you know which one is fastest?
