There is no fiance visa in Canada.  You can marry him and apply as a couple or if you can live with him for 12 months, you can apply as a couple.  There is a chance to apply as conjugal partners but that is mostly for people who for a valid reason can neither get married nor live together.

The time it takes for sponsorship is first 7 weeks of processing in Canada to approve you as a sponsor and then 4-7 months in Manila.  You can find information about sponsorship here: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/sponsor/spouse.asp
