Hello my brother got PNP approval certificate from Manitoba last month and we have applied for express entry now. Received the AOR immediately on applying on April 2nd. Would the processing time be 22 months now ? or would it be 6 months because he already got a nomination from province ? If someone can answer please !

Hey Josh,
I too was in same boat with processing times because I am waiting for few documents to apply in express entry PNP stream but after reading the media release from IRCC I realized that this times are actually based on a calculation taken from how much time had IRCC taken in past 6 months and since PNP program had a lot of Outland applicants in pool the processing times have been a lot in past few years due COVID but now since IRCC has been working on to speed up the process we should see application processing standard times return back to normal soon. Since it is a new application there is a 90 percent chance that it might process faster. This processing times are going to change weekly based on the past data and not future data, so keep that in mind.
