How long will take for a work permit to be processed in the Philippines?

Question

I just submitted my visa application to the Canadian Embassy here in Manila Philippines. How long will it take them to release the result? I obtained my file identifier from Service Canada (the HR of Canada) that affirms shortage of Audiologist workers in Canada. I also have a contract already. Please answer my question. Really appreciate your time!
