A lot of banks will try and hold them for 30 business days if you have no history with them. They have all tried to tell me this is "standard"... HSBC, TD, RBC, CIBC. I have closed (corporate) accounts at 2 banks because of this. Stick with a bank that knows you and there should be no hold up to a certain amount. For me, this was CIBC.
