WOW I am still in disbelief... Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies came around and emailed me to say I received an award. It does not say the amount or duration (but I know I am ineligible for CGS now anyways). Good luck to everyone else and hang in there to those who got ambiguous replies (because I got one initially that sounded like I had no chance!)!!!
Congrats to all of the successful applicants! I am beginning to wonder if the universities are in fact only revealing successful results and choosing to be ambiguous otherwise (which is totally cruel if that is the case.. cause then unsuccessful applicants hold on to hope).
I emailed the external awards officer at my university (McGill) and got the following reply:
"Good morning,
We will be notifying successful candidates in the coming days. SSHRC will send, or has sent, result letters to all candidates."
Not very helpful at all...
