calgary

my friend learned today she got forwarded

1 of them

my university tells candidates who gets sent to Ottawa versus not they'll tell you

not in the ccv but I did in the research contributions text

One of my academic referees wrote her letter in one hour the day before the deadline.

it's only the letter of appraisal in the envelope

Academic letters they can upload themselves so it's not a big deal to wait. Also, you can remind them a bit later given that you have internet. But don't hesitate to send (useful) reminders when you think it's appropriate.

is it the academic letters or leadership ones? will you have access to your laptop/internet during your trip?

submit to sshrc

sounds like you have to submit to SSHRC directly though... ask SSHRC again...clearly state your situation...ask McGill/uOttawa as well

When I applied to FRQS doctoral (health agency), I just needed my current supervisor to write an extremely small paragraph. They didn't require LORs!

omg yes apply

well in my department, everyone interested completes the application and THEN they select ONE person. (Then the institution chooses national nominations). So a lot of time can be wasted on an application to be rejected at the departmental level...

two and two being psych and boy ? (oh AND Montreal, QC)

so you only start the application after knowing you are nominated by your department? does that guarantee national nomination?

Results are out on the Vanier website!

the number of nominations they can do for that specific agency over 3 years for instance, if the floating quota is 2 for CIHR, they could nominate one person this year and one person next year, but then 0 person the following year

got my confirmation of commencement form!

are they asking for a timeline? I never included that in my application last year did the instructions change?

absolutely

Times New Roman 12

absolutely! I didn't even have two pages.
