Yea I would have been much happier if they could have sent an email on the 28 saying "offers of funding will be sent by email to succesful applicants on March 29. Non succesful applicants will be mailed information about their rankings"

My grad office said that anyone who did not receive an email was not successful and more information on our ranking will be mailed to us.

Yeah, I'm less than impressed.... Thanks to everyone who posted anything they knew here though - I would've been so lost otherwise. For some reason I thought being a direct applicant to NSERC would mean less bureaucratic confusion but turns out it's just no communication at all lmao

Considering they tell institutions that decisions will be sent by e-mail they should do this. Getting results by mail isn't good for some of us. For example, I currently am away for research so won't have access to my mail for a few weeks still. 

Sent my first email at 11:40, got a reply 2 hours later. Sent another inquiry to the reply and got auto-replied again. 

Or how hard would it be for them to send an e-mail before releasing results to at least say "Results will be released over these days in random order" or whatever so we at least have some idea of what's going on .

This whole emailing system is a mess ... they should announce the results on the portal where applicant can login and check it! I mean how hard it is to do such system!

Same. I would have thought that they would have been at the top of the "To do" list starting at 9 am today... but I guess not.

I think it could depend on institution and committee. I am from UW and I believe there were some engineers that got their results today. But people in my area have heard nothing and my friends in psychology at UW have also heard nothing (But apparently guelph psychology has?)
I wish they had just either sent them all yesterday or just saved them until after the weekend. The waiting is torture for those who haven't heard yet and it really is ruining my weekend.

Ontario as well and nothing. I am so curious what order they send the emails out in. I.e.: accepted and then rejected? Province by province? Alphabetical? By institutions? 

I am waiting. I want to say patiently but that's a lie. 

This is torture.

This could be the case but this also just seems like a safe response to not have angry grad students grumbling if results aren't when they said . My grad site still says that results are expected end of March and that the university knows just about as much as we do as to when to expect things. 

I know. And I keep telling myself not to worry as I check emails for non-NSERC related things after hours in the evening but then that small shred of hope in me tells me "NSERC might email you at 2 a.m. just because they can"

Still nothing. Nerves ignite with every email. Forwarded from UAlberta
