I came in as a visitor so it’s not applicable to me. Should have applied under the family class

Too early to ask for a final decision to April applicants buddie. As a February applicant, you might need to wait around 6 months for it.

Lys01 applied on May 28, 2025 (inland) and already had a Final Decision on August 12, 2025, with COPR showing the next day. JanJJ, who applied in February 2025, now has a “Final Decision” date in their account as of August 7, 2025. Clearly, recent inland applicants are getting decisions much faster than estimated the 6-month wait you mentioned.
However I am preparing myself for almost worst case scenario (6 months, or by February 2026) or absolute worst case (February 2027.. really hoping and praying it doesn't go there). I want it ASAP

Well...I would say that these cases are exceptions. Everyone wants a final decision asap, but we need to be realistic based in the most cases. IRCC always plays a random game. Good luck.

Agree. These are the exceptions. Plenty of others waiting over a year. Under a year is still pretty fast processing to get PR. It has also become much easier to join a spouse in Canada on a TRV compared to even 2 years ago when spouses would often have to wait Outland until they got PR.
