SSHRC results were in Quebec City today.

Funny how a letter will change the perception I have of the worthiness of my research. Here's a thought for everyone who didn't/won't get the award.

Ditto. Good luck to all applicants !

This is the mail I sent SSHRC: «J'ai visité le site web du CRSH aujourd'hui. Je n'ai pas trouvé la date de diffusion des résultats du concours de bourses pour le doctorat. Je me demandais si vous pouviez m'indiquer la procédure pour faire connaître aux étudiants le résultat des comités d'évaluation et le moment où je devrais connaître leur décision. En vous remerciant à l'avance de toute information que vous pourriez me communiquer à cet égard.» Loose translation: «I surfed on the SSHRC Web site today. I couldn't find the results of the doctoral awards. I was wondering if you could tell me how students will be notified of the results and when I will know the decision regarding my application. Thanks in advance.» SSHRC answered my mail. «Bonjour, Les résultats vont être postés à la fin du mois d'avril 2011.» Translation: «Hi, resultat will be posted/mailed at the end of April 2011.» «Postés» could either mean «posted on the Web site» or «sent by mail», although the latter seems more likely.

Also, not to add any more strength to the windmill rumor but a teacher close to me told me that the SSHRC administrators met last week. From what I understand, it was a preliminary step of approval, budget-wise. But I don't know at what level that meeting took place. Not very useful, I know, but I figure every little bit of information is worth sharing.

I sent an email.

Totally. The last days have not been very productive. The coming week doesn't appear to be better.

I live in Quebec City and the letter was in my mailbox this morning.

Hi all I've been reading this thread since April and I learned more here than anywhere else about SSHRC. I just wanted to let you know that I received in the mail my SSRHC letter informing me that I was granted a Bombardier-MA scholarship for next year. Just wanted to let you know that the letters are definitely in the mail!
