It depends on many factors. Contact MP of your area(if in Canada) and ask your MP to contact CIC and enquire why its taking so long. He will surely get you your answer. I would also suggest you order GCMS notes.

Depends on a country you're from. I know a guy originally from Iran that had to wait for about 2 years.

Your BOWP is only 6 months. I guess it means they would make the decision within several months. Good luck!

No that is not how it works.

BOWP is 1 year or the term of the current passport.

If less than a year and passport has lots of life they perhaps feel that your PR will be rejected.
