With and without ECAS, the only way is to await a communication from the visa office (more info, medical, payment,...) This is when you determine exactly which office is processing your application.

That is not quite accurate. You can enter the EE pool however if you receive an ITA then you need to either reject the ITA or withdraw your quebec based federal application.

In theory it means the application processing has started at the local VO. However it does not mean that it is New Delhi visa office.

GCKey will be updated when they print your visa and send it back. You should get a request to submit your passport within 2-3 days.

You need to wait for a correspondence via email or GCKEY. It will be in the signature.

Yes this is an indication that it has been transferred to local VO however not necessarily the one designated to your country of residence.

Nothing besides the courier fee.

You don't need to repay it that's for sure but it would be great if you respond to the email and re-attach your RPRF receipt.

I am an outland and I had multiple PCC.

Are you inland or outland? And regarding your question, yes PCC are part of the requirements of the background check. There is no specific time when this part should start. At one point in time, you should receive a note requesting the PCC. I suggest you check which ones are needed and prepare...

It is a different fee and the last one in the process. The email should have included a reference/link to how to pay the fee online.

They are not related.

In my opinion you did not do any mistake. The file processing part is an indication that your file has been transferred esp. if you are an outland. However there have been cases of outland applicants and yet the file processing line is not available under their ECAS.

IELTS is not a required or even optional document in the federal process post CSQ. It will not affect your file processing. There is always a possibility that the visa officer might request it or any other document while reviewing your file (I haven't come across a case yet).

Here is the reference to the specifications: http://www.cic.gc.ca/english/information/applications/guides/pdf/5445EB-e.pdf

This is the expected result. Linking the application will give you an update on its current status however no references to prior communication because they were not done through it. The same would apply to any future communications unless they are done through GCKey. There is nothing to worry...

The transfer does not show under myCIC however ECAS might show a start of processing date which is an indication that the file has been transferred to a local VO. The local VO in your case might be Sao Paulo based on your residence however it is not the rule. Files are distributed based on VO...

Different application, different (VO potentially) and different officer. Users with same AOR day do not result in any manner with same MR dates. If that happens it is only coincidence. The only timeline that can be predicted is AOR date. After that, there are no predictions, only tentative...

You did right. That's where you are supposed to send your application.
