Do you think we'll get an email even if we don't get selected? I should have the answer to the internal review process by October 19.
my university tells candidates who gets sent to Ottawa versus not
they'll tell you

Has anyone else elected to list publications they have that are under review, even though they said not to?
not in the ccv but I did in the research contributions text

Ok, 6 days left and still nothing. I'll send a reminder when there is three days left. Those LOR are pretty lengthy, I don't think it's something that can be done the day before..
One of my academic referees wrote her letter in one hour the day before the deadline.

Hello previous applicants,
I am a new SSHRC doctoral applicant here.
I have a question regarding the "letter of appraisal". When I give each of my supervisors the letter of appraisal package for them to complete, should they only place the 1-page completed form in the envelope and discard the documents that I give them to complete the letter, OR should they include everything in the envelope?
...By 'documents' or 'everything' I am talking about the 1 copy of research contribution, the blank letter of appraisal form, program of study)
Thank you!
Some tips are appreciated!
it's only the letter of appraisal in the envelope

Academic! And yes!
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.

So, I am only missing two LOR and there are 11 days left to the institutional deadline of uOttawa
I'll be away in another country until the deadline. When is it reasonable to email the profs about this? I had asked them to submit their letters this week
is it the academic letters or leadership ones? will you have access to your laptop/internet during your trip?

Yeah, I get contradictory answers from McGill, SSHRC and UOttawa. Not fun.
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

Is it me or we don't have to provide referees (LOR) this year?
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!

I'm debating whether or not I should apply to OGS and FRQSC but I feel like asking my academic refeeres to write me 5 scholarships reference letters in total (I am applying to Vanier, Trudeau & SSHRC) is too much to ask out of them.
omg yes apply

No. It does NOT guarantee national nomination. ONE candidate per department is nominated, gets forwarded to the graduate awards committee for the entire institution, there they decide which applications go national.
The process at my school is stupidly convoluted and thinking about it is making me upset hahaha
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...

Ugh, the process at my institution is SO annoying. ?
Departments can only nominate one candidate and they must not have completed 20 months of their doctoral studies by May 2019. I qualify despite being 2nd year PhD. Since I got nominated last year, the chances of my department renominating me is in the air. I had conversations with the grad chair and the department chair who gave me diplomatic but canned responses of, "you are such a strong candidate, you should be happy being waitlisted for Vanier! Not many people make it that far!" and then telling me because of my performance in the Vanier competition, I would be a strong candidate for the SSHRC Doctoral CGS. I also get bulls*it responses about how not everyone gets their SSHRC in their first and second year as if that's a consolation prize. In any case I do not agree with at all because I scored pretty high in Vanier and basically failed the rankings on the SSHRC Doctoral. It's like comparing apples to oranges - the Vanier is based on community involvement and leadership much more than SSHRC, which seems to be purely academic. So this is pissing me off.
They sent calls for nominations I believe and I got two faculty members to put my name in. But it is still in the air. By the time we find out who is nominated it'll be late-August to early-September which is what f*cked me over last year giving me a month to prepare to submit an application! If I had known publications counted for that much I wish I knew before September so I could have at least made a manuscript to submit to a journal. Sigh.
Do I seem bitter about it, yes I am, because I was so close and now due to stupid politics at my institution, I may not have a chance at Vanier again even though I made many strides into improving my application for next season, such as actually submitting stuff to journals and doing high-level conference panel talks.
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!

What's a "floating quota"?
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

Hey there, congrats! I was in the same boat (NSERC and FRQNT doctoral funding) and the rule is that, if you receive both, you must accept the federal funding instead of provincial. You cannot hold both. The extra detail is that if FRQNT offers you funding for a longer period than NSERC (say, 4 years when NSERC a offers 3) then you can receive NSERC for its full duration and then FRQNT for the extra period. They don’t stack, though. Hope that helps!

I am wondering if it's even relevant to put a timeline in the proposal. My methodology is very much described. My timeline is pretty much "I am going to do my PhD in 5 years" and explaining the different steps of the research process in more general terms. I don't know if it is useful to put this section because it's pretty much a "given" that everyone goes through these different steps (coursework, comprehensive exam, dissertation project, ethics approval, data collection, analyzing, writing the thesis.)
are they asking for a timeline? I never included that in my application last year
did the instructions change?

Five pages for references is the max. Is it okay if we don't fill those 5 pages entirely? I am probably going to have 1 and 1/6 of references.
absolutely! I didn't even have two pages.
