Hiyo! Ditto what everyone else said. What you really need to worry about is what will the American program do about foreign sourced funding? Some programs may withdraw their funding from you if you have equivalent foreign sourced funding. This would be worth checking on from department to department, and getting it in writing. It may influence where you apply, or where you accept. Having the extra funding sitting in your American or Canadian bank account will have a longterm positive impact on your ability to wait it out on the job market/be happy and not stressed. It may also influence when you decide to apply for SSHRC funding. You should also know that you can only apply for the Canada Fulbright the year you're applying to PhD programs. The Canada Fulbright program stipulates you can't already have been enrolled in an American program when applying. Man, I wish someone had told me all this when I was applying! G'luck.

Thought I'd make a post so that we can all skulk/gloat/bemoan/waste time re: the lengthy CASVA process. Dissertation Fellowship listings report that interview phone calls have/are being made? I guess I'm wondering if anyone can speak out about that: how were you contacted and when? When can the rest of us give up and return to our dissertations?
