Mindy,
Buffalo - 14 days. I don't know how long it takes to process a TRV (work) from the Philippines. Website states: 15 days.
Ondang,
Yup, my motto better safe than sorry.
Our compatriots working at the embassy sometimes are too hard on their own countrymen applying for TRVs, but that is because of the hardship/scarcity of good paying jobs in the Philippines, the officers are apprehensive that when a Filipino gets granted a visa, s/he will not go back to the Philippines and instead stay in Canada for good or longer than the requested time.
