These are the times IRCC publishes for applications made from outside Canada, except where noted. Visitor visa and super visa times reflect the visa office responsible for that country, which is why two neighbouring countries can differ sharply. A figure is the time it took to finish most recently completed applications, not a deadline or a guarantee.
Applying from inside Canada uses a different set of numbers. Those are on the main processing times page, along with permanent residence and citizenship queues.
