It’s conceivable to get there in under 200 years with reasonably close to current technology.

Hollow out an asteroid, pack it full of humans and have a central fusion plant “star” in the center and trundle off at 8-10% C and let the descendants colonize!

Apollo 10...holds the record for the highest speed attained by a manned vehicle with 11.08 km/s (24,791mph)

Lots of work to be done to make 22ly in 200 years.
