Can I ask, What is the significance of the last 4 digits? Do you know some way to interpret the file number?
The last applicants who received nominations had file numbers 06XX (last 4 digits). And the ones applying under old process (with preassessment in 2008) are receiving smaller file numbers than the ones applying under new process around the same time. So, some of us in this forum believe that sharing not only the application date but also the last 4 digits of file numbers may help us understand how AINP is processing our applications. (All applicants are receiving the same first 6 digits, so they are not significant.)
If you open our "AINP Timeline Tracker" (the link is attached to the signiture box of my messages), you will see everyone's application timeline including application date, last 4 digits of file number, and NOC code. I'm asking people for the timeline info because I am assisting in managing this timeline spreadsheet.
Unfortunately, AINP seems to have stopped issuing nominations (and maybe even file numbers), so I haven't seen many people posting their timelines here recently. But I hope the timeline info will help people in this forum undertand the progress of AINP application process.
