It really depends on case to case.
I have seen on this forum that people applied 9 months in advance, Got their visa 3 months in advance and are leaving in May for Canada.

It could also be a case where ur background check is taking longer than expected. But i don't think they necessarily hold on to ur passport for long intentionally.

I think 12 weeks includes all the medical delays. I HEAR , (and don't quote me on this) that the initial review of ur application is done before they call you for medical. In case they want to refuse you on the basis of ur application/ lack of funds or other document related issues, they will NOT send u a medical request.

But this is just what i hear and not confirmed reports. The Consultant i spoke with also mentioned this. So i guess it could be a general occurrence .
