How long time does the federal stage take for EE-based PNP applications?

IRCC's website says the processing time is 22 months, which is scary...

This is for EE-based PNP applications, not for paper based.. And this is for the federal stage only.

Not sure if this is accurate, because the website may not get updated timely.

Can anyone please confirm it?

Thanks!

The processing times are updated weekly. You can expect 22 months, it may be more or less depending on how lucky you are, the officer you get and how easy your information is to verify. People with current FSW applications and PNP applications have been waiting upwards of 3 years in MANY cases.

Yeah it's scary, but deal with it if you really want it.

processing time is based on history(past few months applications which have got PPR). Applicants from 2020/2021 who were badly affected by Covid delays.

Service standard time remains as 6 months and according to current trend, Many PNP applicants have already received PPR who have applied in January 2022 which is less than 6 months.

Interesting.
The answers in this thread are totally different, from 4 months to 6 months to "you can expect 22 months".
Thanks though.
