According to our grad external awards officer, today SSHRC indicated that they hope to release results to schools the week of May 11th, with candidates being notified shortly thereafter (she emailed me this unwelcome tidbit at 2:00 p.m. local (Ottawa) time).

hmmm... my guess would be that the 30th would be the mailing date. I can't see them holding off to send everything simultaneously; I suppose the delay is due to the numerous changes this year.

hi Zhivago - yes, the schools are notified before the recipients --- oh! & not only your current institution, but universities across the country (grad departments take this into consideration when making offers to candidates). I forgot to mention in my post, a few days before receiving my letter last year, one of the schools I had applied to called me, offering congrats & making me an offer of admission --- they misjudged the mail & jumped the gun (odd way to find out... I've since learned that this is fairly common (I've met a few other people who learned about their SSHRC in a similar fashion)

hi all, I just joined this forum I suspect we'll be waiting a bit yet... possibly next week. Currently, I hold a SSHRC-CGS MA Fellowship; when I applied last year we were informed that results would be announced mid March --- my letter was dated April 15th, & arrived April 23rd. This year, the website proclaims "April;" sooo.... [btw, for those with lingering doubts, changing schools does not negatively impact your award: I changed my institution & everything was fine. I've since even received another SSHRC (the Foreign Study Supplement); thus, a change of plans will not affect your record with SSHRC. ...& don't bother checking the website, either: they don't post results until all the awards have been accepted/declined (i.e., early summer).] I will be glad to see someone here announce receipt of their MA SSHRC: they are typically mailed prior to the PhD ones (which is what I'm awaiting at the moment).
