Thanks BC2013! Sure our timelines are really similar.Yes I received AOR from Berlin sometime around mid April 2012 but never received any AOR from Vienna even after files were supposedly transferred (According to CIC website) there. Did you ever receive AOR from Vienna?
You seem to be getting informed about older fsw applications.To me,it doesn't really make sense that they now work on really older applications while new ones are piling up when they are suppose to be responding to current labour market needs in their country.Anyway,they know better what is good for them..
I received an AOR from Berlin in march, nothing from Vienna. In an answer to a CSE, they "confrmed the reception of my file" in october. However, I don't think this qualifies as an official AOR.
Regarding older applications, I noticed this on this forum, and on another tracker, which covers mostly older cases (http://www.trackitt.com/canada-immigration-trackers/federal-skilled-workers). And yes, I thought they would prioritize more recent applications. Well, nothing we can do about it, though. However, when the backlog is cleared, they will get to our cases.
