Yes, it is being reported that Canadian Embassy in Mnilla is processing applications at slow rate As per the official figures, presently, the number of applications being processed for Canada work permits by Filipino nationals happens to be just one out of 20 such applications and that too in 28 days time. This ratio of processing of Canada work permits at Canada Embassy in Manila comes to just around 5 percent.
2 :
Skilled worker immigration visas to Canada from Manila are currently taking 5 to 6 years to process - http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/times/international/02a-skilled-fed.asp scroll down to Manila Other visa categories may have different times - but Philippines, India and Pakistan are notoriously slow due to the large numbers of applicants received every month.

I believe there is a special visa for your case. When someone has a valid work visa, this person can bring his spouse to live with him. You can only live there and not work. If you are married apply for this visa and if you are not married and want to live there then tell him to marry you. The only way to obtain a work visa for canada is to find an employer whos willing to offer you a job.
2 :
you need to apply for a work permit on your own and apply for jobs in the same city. http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/work/index.asp read this page and see if you QUALIFY. You said PARTNER. Have you been living together for 12 months or more already? If yes then your partner can apply for you to come as a dependent - BUT they MUST SHOW proof of the relationship.

There has been significant growth in number of work visas issued by Canada The figures by the Statistics CanadaĆ¢€™s study suggest the fact that growth in the number of temporary foreign workers in Canada might be attributed to an economic boom in Canada
