I'm fairly sure my letter was lost simply because I've lost quite a bit of mail sent to me - including a very recent cheque sent from my university and a teaching contract. My OGS letter was also sitting in a puddle outside of my mailbox, which was a little disconcerting. It's not out of the ordinary for me to lose mail so I've usually given up waiting after a few days... (I also received several letters sent from Ottawa after the SSHRC letters were supposed to be sent - I do get most of my mail, but the occasional piece seems to disappear) I had been in touch with my graduate studies people and they requested that another letter to be sent out.

I found that my Faculty of Graduate Studies office was extremely helpful. They sent me my award number, as well as details about the award, and I e-mailed the fellowships e-mail at SSHRC to formally accept the award. They are going to try re-sending the letter to me in Toronto as well.

Is this the same form that's available on the website here http://www.sshrc.ca/site/using-utiliser ... ng.aspx#a6 ? So it's just a letter and then the activation forms? Thanks in advance..

Thanks, canuckle. I'm just paranoid and wanted to make sure there weren't any important forms or anything else along those lines. It's deeply appreciated.

Long time lurker, first time poster. I have a question for those of you who have received your letters - what does it say that one has to do to accept the award? Canada Post keeps losing my mail - they've lost cheques sent to me from my university, so this is an ongoing problem - and they've lost my SSHRC letter. I'm in Toronto and haven't received anything (even though other documents from Ottawa have arrived, even if they've been sent on Monday). Just wondering what one has to do to accept the award, if there's anything else of note on there. I deeply appreciate any help that one can give, you can probably imagine how horrible it is to know that your letter has been lost - and the ensuing tension.
