How much time does it take to process residency by investment program applications in Canada these days?

Is it true that those who apply for residency via investment are processed before other program applicants? Can candidates expect faster processing of their applications in 2022?

    The processing time for the Quebec Immigrant Investor Program are now reaching about eight years, so we are seeing a lot of our clients switch to the Start-Up Visa program, and accordingly cut down drastically their PR processing times. Will we see more of that in 2022? I have no doubt because processing times are so much faster in this still rather new program.
