simhod, i am sorry that you did not get it this time. In fact, I was rejected by NSERC before as well and I cannot count how many rejections I have been getting nowadays when applying for a job (academic or industry..does not matter)!. My area of specialization (wireless comm.) has become exceptionally crowded with PhDs and postdocs waiting before me, but there are not many openings.
I am not a postdoc yet; I will defend my phd this month.
Best wishes.
