University of Ottawa! And the grad office won't talk!!

I am in Ottawa and I did not receive the letter today! did anybody get it in Ottawa?

Here is a good answer! So let's wait for monday!

I guess it would mean something in the sense it was not there before. And last year when I was rejected it was not there... So i guess what we need to know if everybody see it or if some people do not see it!

Hey everyone! I am in panic! I did not receive any news from my uni (uottawa) but checking on the sshrc website I can now ask for a scholarship supplement (the Michael smith something). It was not here yesterday (yeah I checked...). Could that mean anything??? any previous experience I will call my deparment. Bloody SSHRC giving the results a friday. It looks like they want to torture us until the end...

CIHR is not the same than SSHRC...

No results received from the SSHRC in the university of Ottawa today. For sure they will send the results tomorrow... and then the week end will come! so nice! They could at least drop the letters for Ottawa on their way home...

I asked my graduate department to know if they have the results in Ottawa... I'll see what they say.

I don't understand the SSHRC. It's not the first year that they are giving awards... They could at least give us a precise date... And what is this message on twitter (using twitter but sending papers...) "end of April" and watch your mailbox... For Vanier there a date given but not for this one... very weird and unprofessionnal... Maybe they are waiting for the Vanier people to accept or refuse their award to redistribute the sshrc awards these people may have won as well...

I guess it depends if you are optimistic or pessimistic!!

sshrc said : Doctoral results on track for end of April, Master’s mid-May. Applicants will be notified by mail. Watch your mailbox! In my opinion results have been send otherwise why should I watch my mailbox?

I guess that if the letters have been send today they should arrive on monday ... in Ottawa at least!

The waiting is getting too long... Even the Béso scholarship is out (for the students of the university of Ottawa at least). Unfortunately I was rejected for the Vanier scolarship ( I was ranked 113 on 160) and now I am more and more worried about the SSHRC scholarship... I am French and I am scared because I got most of my experience abroad Canada. I have applied as a first year phd student (I am finishing my first year) I cannot translate my marks but for the research part I included 7 conferences, 5 articles peer reviewed, 3 accepted articles (peer reviewed) and one article (no review). I was reading here that publications are not the most important part so I am starting to wonder if I did not waste my time and if I should have rather do some volunteer work (which is not seen as an amazing thing in France compare to Canada... For instance being in a french student union is not good at all for us because it means you might annoy the administration... France and strikes...)

I received a positive answer for Béso yesterday from the university of Ottawa. I am now waiting for the SSHRC one after being rejected by the Vanier at the national stage.
