My prospective uni has an internal deadline at the end of January. I can't apply right now because I don't have an admission offer in my hands right now. But I am ready to apply. It sucks but worst case, I try next year. I emailed my phd thesis advisor to know if he knows when admission decisions will be given.

I totally understand the feeling. I hate when LOR writers are last minute. So anxiety-provoking on top of that.

Looks like we're gonna know the results on April 4th, 2019. Funding Organization Vanier CGS Program Name Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships : 2018-2019 ARCHIVED Program Launch Date 2018-06-19 Deadline Date TBD Important Dates Competition 201810CGV CLOSED Application Deadline 2018-10-31 Anticipated Notice of Decision 2019-04-04 Funding Start Date 2019-05-01

Ohhhhh, I just got your question. Sorry about that! CGS (Joseph-Armand Bombardier) Doctoral and SSHRC Doctoral are both the "regular" scholarships. You are considered for both automatically I believe. One is less prestigious of the other though. Value Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarships Program Doctoral Scholarships: $35,000 per year SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships: $20,000 per year Duration Joseph-Armand Bombardier Canada Graduate Scholarships Program Doctoral Scholarships: 36 months SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships: 12, 24, 36 or 48 months

I don't know yet if I will be forwarded for SSHRC Doctoral, I hope I'll be. I applied to 4 scholarships just in case I don't get Vanier.

The Vanier Secretariat (for which there is three research councils depending on the domain of your studies) awards 167 scholarships. Each research council gives 55 scholarships. So SSHRC will give 55 Vanier, as well as NSERC and CIHR. So there's Vanier SSHRC, Vanier NSERC and Vanier CIHR. SSHRC Doctoral is the "regular" competition, with awards of a lesser value. So SSHRC Doctoral and SSHRC Vanier are two different things. They also require two separate applications. I don't know if it's clearer.

I unactivated my FB profile yesterday, but kept Messenger. I need a break.

Good to know. What about Canada?

It seems like I won't be able to find an apartment, a bachelor or a studio in either Gatineau or Ottawa for less than 1000$ (furnished). Did anyone here live in the uOttawa residences? Are they worth the hype?

Bluelines. I have been using them since grad school. Never going back to something else. https://www.blueline.com/index.php/weekly-monthly-timanager-planner-c5933-81bt.html?___SID=U

I received the comments and the evaluations of my students for my TAship last term. Only positive feedback and comments!

I submitted a book proposal that would stem from my master's thesis to an editor I met a few months ago in person. Fingers crossed.

Happy new year! What are your hopes for the new year?

My uni sents out Trudeau apps on Jan 25. I hope to get an admission offer before that, who knows. If not, I'll just apply next year.

Criticism, when it's legitimate, is actually a good thing because it allows you to become a better scholar. Personally, I would not want to publish something that it's not at the best level it can be.

my hope for 2019 is to find a partner that I'll be happy with! Fingers crossed. also: - winning Vanier - being accepted into my PhD program - graduating from my master's program

Hello, has anyone here had a negative experience with Fulbright in relation to their physical and mental health assessment? (discrimination?)

This.

I just saw it. Wow. How unprofessional and condescending of her.

same for scholarships apps.

Wait, what? ?

Going to the gym, online shopping for make up and clothing, listening to music and going to concerts, cooking, going to restaurants, fast walking.

Hello, does any of you know about the job market in academia (in the field of social work) in the US/Canada? Is it as difficult to get a job as professor than in other fields?

Hello everyone, I will be most likely graduating from my master's program this spring. I have applied to start a PhD in my field (social sciences) in September 2019 in a Canadian city (I currently live in Quebec). I have a question for you & I hope you'll be honest with me. I know it will come across as naive and I am sorry if others may have asked this question before. But let me explain: like many doctoral students, I hope to have a career in academia just like my current supervisor who is a great inspiration to me. I want to teach and do research at the same time at the university level. Given the current job market in academia - too many doctoral students for the jobs available: What would be the things that I need to do during my PhD studies in order to increase the odds of realizing this career aspiration? What are the things you wish you knew along the way or prior to grad school? Thank you and happy holidays!

Yeah! I can’t believe it!
