I have an old website from which I'd like to grab my posts to my new blog, so I used a canonical in the old blog to tell the original is in my new site now.

I can't find the new posts added to my new site in google.

Did I do something wrong? or is not it compatible with AIOSP ? (I haven't found the per-page canonical option in AIOSP)

The old site is seosumo.com and the new one is socialblogsitewebdesign.com

Thanks.

You missed the goal of canonical URL. Canonical URLs are supposed to tell google which version of a page is the real version within your own site. If it can work across domains. In my experience, the best way to do what you are trying to do is to do a 301 (moved permanently) redirect from your old page to the new page. Google and other search engines will automatically figure it out for you after it sees the redirect.

Best of luck!
