Dear,
There are two part of the processing first one is with MPNP office till you get LOA which is same for all countries the only difference is the type of the application in general now days for general stream it take one year to get LOA and for family approx 6 months.
Once LOA is issued than its federal processing to issue you visa based on LOA / medical / criminal recod check.
Federal processing time varies based on the VIsa office this information is avaialbe on the site as well. For applications going to london visa office takes 18 months which is same if you apply from pakistan.

Hi, think your estimate of london processing time is a little long, at the moment the processing time from London Visa ofice is 6-7 months. I know of other PNP applicants that it took 4 months to get their PR.
Took this from the London office web page: http://www.canadainternational.gc.ca/united_kingdom-royaume_uni/visas/processing-traitement.aspx?view=d
