Thanks for all these posts! Honestly, I feel much better knowing people are getting results and that this waiting game will be over soon. Congrats to all those with SSHRC and condolences to all those passed over. And to those still waiting, like myself, I can't wait to be out of this club.
I live in a small town near Stratford ON and I am going insane waiting. Rural Ontario still hasn't had word. I'm going back down to the post office in a couple of hours, before it closes at 5pm, just in case they sorted it out late.
I can't believe that SSHRC is using "equity" reasoning. We all set up accounts online to do the application. At minimum, a modern PhD student must have access to the internet in a computer lab at their university. If anything, there is significant unfairness to rural, remote and international applicants getting their letters later. Hopefully, tri-council will be entering this decade soon.
