congratulations!!!!!! that probably means whoever didn't get an email will receive a rejection soon

how much time did y'all spend on this application?

so nerve wrecking!

hey folks in the states, are y'all requesting the money to be deposited in a canadian account or an american? i am a lil confused as to what i should do...

Finally got the letter! 16.6/20. Committee 3, got a CGS, but will decline for a fellowship since I am in Cali. Oh my god what a journey. Thank you folks for keeping me insane throughout the process. xx

at this point i wonder if i should just email sshrc and be like "i accept the award" just to troll them into telling me anything (I haven't received the letter yet lol)

if i don't get anything by tomorrow i have no idea what the weekend is gonna be like. lol. sshrc WHYYYYY

yay! just out of curiosity, what do you have to do ? just email them?

do we know how many people applied altogether and how many people got awards this year?

amazing!! congrats! I still can't wrap my head around why they would give american students a CGS knowing full well they can only take a fellowship...

honestly at this point i don't know what's what anymore

oh wah. nice. curious if ottawa > vancouver takes longer or ottawa > yellowknife takes long (where my letter is sent to)

omg i feel you. i have 4 papers to write but i literally cannot focus. zzz

so for those in canada (especially west coast), you should receive something by tomorrow I assume...? anyone's got anything yet?

http://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/results-resultats/recipients-recipiendaires/2015/cgs_doctoral-doctorat_bes-eng.aspx can someone explain to me why so many students who are not in Canadian universities won the CGS? I thought it's exclusively for those in canadian institutions? do they just give them CGS in name but eventually award them with a doctoral fellowship? I am so confused...

great question. so for me, i have funding for 6 years at an american university. some schools have stipend caps (for my university it's $32000USD), which means your internal and external stipend money cannot exceed that amount. you can put some on hold, let one kick in (SSHRC, for example), and resume the halted one when one runs out. there is room to play for sure. also it's astonishing how weak the CAD is lol

literally couldn't sleep properly last night zzz. not sure how long more i gotta wait. has anyone emailed sshrc and asked for your results? what has worked

someone should write a paper on the therapeutic effects of gradcafe lolol

different postal zones have very different speeds and processing procedures. hahaha we are all so impatient #HOLDONTIGHT PS: my letter is going to yellowknife i think i can just forget about it

fellow friends who are in the states omg the next few days are gonna be PAINFUL.

how long does it take for mail to get from ottawa to yellowknife y'all think? lol just looking for an estimate

i tried to email them (i am in the states). wondering if they would let me know via email next week

i thought they said it was gonna be tomorrow, so why are you expecting something today? just curious.

omg. tomorrow. can we just email them and ask when they send out the notice that the slow mail's out?

lol i am dying. this is almost as painful as waiting to hear back from grad school
