How long is the backlog for startup visa applications in Canada?

I've heard that the IRCC is currently facing a backlog of 1.8 million applications. For how long do applicants have to wait before they get their results of their startup visa applications?

    The inventory of start-up business class is supposed to be 6,000 applications as of end of 2021, but i have obtained statistics from the IRCC and they claim it is lower. Right now they are processing March 2020 permanent residency application so about two years of processing.
