A recent article on HTML5 says, the Proposed Recommendation date is 2022 and the Candidate Recommendation date is 2012.
I would like to know what is the difference between the “Proposed Recommendation” and the “Candidate Recommendation”?

From the W3C process documentation on http://www.w3.org/2005/10/Process-20051014/tr.html#q74
A Recommendation progresses through five maturity levels:
Candidate Recommendation (CR)
A Candidate Recommendation is a document that W3C believes has been widely reviewed and satisfies the Working Group’s technical requirements. W3C publishes a Candidate Recommendation to gather implementation experience.
Proposed Recommendation (PR)
