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.

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.
