1.  Somewhere between 6 and 13 months, if the application is complete and no interview is required or there are no criminal problems.

2.  See Ecas, your case may or may not show up.  https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ols/ols.do?lang=en

i have tried looking up the status of the application. I used the client id that my wife gave me, and all i saw was the staus of her sponsorship application.

Also i saw online the some people waited only 2 months for their visa. Is that real then?

don't forget the numbers give are an AVERAGE processing time, if one application took 24 months and the other took 4 months the average time shown would be 14 months.  Try using your name and DOB and country of birth.
