Manila visa processing times for live-in caregiver (LCP) and fast-tracking?

[Quickquestion]

Hi,

I understand that the live in caregiver (LCP) application processing time appears to be 12-18 months after the LMO is received in Manila, Philippines.

Does anyone know whether this is accurate and/or whether an application can be fast-tracked for a fee or through a special program?

Any help or guidance would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hello... how's your application so far?

Hello Guys, I am also an applicant and have submitted my online application for work permit as a live in caregiver via manila embassy last August 5, 2014. By now I am awaiting for my medical and speak test request, hopefully by the end of this month based on my friends timeline. To share my opinion, one of my friend who has applied paper based application via Cebu , she has received her approval just this month. Computing her, average processing, it just took her two months after having been approved with her work permit application. Next month will be her flight to Canada. Good luck to us all!
