After doing a bit of digging around, I think it might be processed faster this year.
PNP intake target for 2022 is 81,500 (

PNP backlog as of December 15 2021 is 39,325 (

So there are 42,175 PNP applications that are not in the backlog yet (meaning yet to be selected/submitted) which the IRCC are planning to process this year. And as per the mandate letter for this year, their number one priority is to bring processing times to pre-pandemic levels (

So, I think we are looking at 7-9 months assuming you get your AOR in Q1
Good luck!!
