how much time would it usually takes after you get an email from CPC Mississauga confirming that they are transferring the file to local visa office to its reached there or they start working on it?

That just means you got lucky. If your application is returned to you, it's such a common reason for return that they have a pre-printed paragraph about how the 2 addresses need to be the same that they highlight on the letter.
I don't think it is about luck. Maybe there is something in the procedures that flags these different addresses, we might not be aware of it.
In any case, it is better to keep the addresses same, unless really required.

Ours was transferred to VO about two weeks after attaching Schedule A. We got the notice it had been transferred on May 12 and then AOR2 May 18

I think it is a US thing (at least from my experience). From AOR 2 to Medical Request, I waited 5 weeks...and my friends who were in the same situation as mine (US Citizens being sponsored by a Canadian Citizen/PR) all had the same experience {AOR2 first before MR}. If there are any exceptions to this, they are (I think) few and far between.
We submitted medical and PCC upfront and schedule A was attached on Apr 25. They have had everything for 5 weeks but my ECAS still doesn't say In Process. I'm hoping soon and that nothing is wrong (fiance is from the US)...

This is highly unusual for Spousal Sponsorship of US Citizens (married, outland). If nothing happens in the coming weeks, you may need to follow up directly or contact your MP to help you out.

Hey all..we applied on March 8 and received AOR on March 21. On March 30, we got medical request. We got it done on April 10th and within same week it was passed and updated in Gckey account. Since then we have not heard back and our file is also not transferred yet. Usually how long does it take for file to be transferred in respective visa office?

We just got medical!

There is no "eMedical enabled" offices in Kingston that I can see. So it says to bring 4 recent photos. Can they be any photo at all?
