hello there i was wondering what you mean by file transfer? does it show up on the CIC website
the initial lette or email you get from cic-m regarding you being approved as a sponsor, that is also pretty much when they transfer your file to isl...as per your info provided in one of the above posts... your file got transferred in aug-sep 2011... then they even asked you for additional info... they prob asked you to send the updated supplementary forms, re-pcc, etc... and if you did so, and they are then satisfied by all that info, you will be getting a re-med pretty soon (maybe along with a ppr) so hang tight, not far off from it... (also i believe you are sponsoring husband, so it may be a little longer compared to wife cases and that is due to the security check on males)...
as far as checking status on the ecase is concerned, there are minor blips and touches here and there that indicate your file is being touched, but (from what i have gathered here) nothing solid like oh we got your additional info, now we are doing this or that... only at a couple of stages they update it... other than that everytime they touch your file there is a hint left in the address that shows there with a line missing, then added back, etc etc...
do send the police clearance form as well voluntarily if they didnt ask for, as that might have expired by now... also same with supplementary forms, and lots of good solid proof of on going relationship...
https://services3.cic.gc.ca/ecas/ here is the link for checking your status online... use the F123456789 number along with the sponsored person`s info (not the one sponsoring) and keep a close eye on the address then any thing else... any changes in that will be hint to file being touched... (if you didnt knew this already, i put it here)...
hope this helps... best of luck
(also you may want to look into caips notes in a few months although everything looks normal so far with your case)
