Yeah, that's normal (at least, it had happened in my case) ... In my case, even after approval by NSERC, the status was never changed to 'approved'.

Thanks man for sharing the information, I appreciate it. From your profile, I wouldn't be surprised if you get selected for the Banting too (good luck in that). I also had 14 papers, but the average impact factor is much lower, around 3.5 (in ECE/Physics) and no paper in Nature/Science/PNAS/PRL. But, I am kind of changing the topic from my PhD research (almost jumping more into Physics), and in that field, I guess candidates typically come with PRL/Nature-group papers. In any case, I am in discussion with a potential supervisor, where he might probably pay my salary. However, if I can get the NSERC, it will probably make life easier, but if not ... C'est la vie (Hopefully, I will still be in a better position than several billion ppl on earth) ...

Thanks, and good luck in your application too ...

Congratulations ... This is great ... Yeah, that is by 31st of March ... I would expect them to send out the letters a bit earlier than that (like NSERC says that it will notify by March 31 too). But hey, who knows what's gonna happen ... But good luck with the Banting one too ... (I didn't even apply for that) ...

Any PDF applicants for 2014 ? Just got the letter today ... Have been put on the short-list ... Not approved for PDF / IRDF / Visiting fellowship ... Things are looking dark ...
