Another part that confuses me is which VAC to send it to.

My spouse is Japanese and is currently living in Japan but her application is being processed in Manila. Does that mean she sends the photos over to Manila? Or does she send them to Japan?

The e-mail says to find a VAC "in your area". Does that mean the "area" that my spouse lives in or the "area" that the application is being processed in?

My spouse and I have gone through some Japanese forums and they've also received word from CIC about providing pictures, but they are also confused regarding which VAC they should send it to.

CIC is so horrible with correspondence, and after reviewing a few things, it seems as though the photo specifications changed without any word or notification. We sent the application in last June and it seems as though specifications changed in January or April (The picture specification document CIC just sent has the date 04/01/16). Needless to say, I'm pretty annoyed, but there's nothing we can really do.
You can go to VFS in tokyo to submit the requested documents and pay document transmission fee or something and they will send it to manila for you that's what we did.

Did anyone posted about the processing times on CIC site recently?

We are now down to 13months from the 17months processing time! AMAZING! I know na madaming natatapos in less than a year pero it's a big help na even ang CIC ni-reduced na ang maximum processing time and it's even country specific now. HURRAY! Smiley
-I Checked it here using the link you provided but still showing 17months and no options for the country? when i checked it using my phone it is 13 months and there's an option from which country you are applying? why is it so weird?

di ako masyado nagpapaniwala sa nakalagay sa processing sa CIC in terms of kung mapapabilis or hindi. Minsan nga glitch yan. pag balik mo balik sa 17 months nanaman.
