You email them. There's an address on the documents: fellowships@sshrc-crsh.gc.ca

I got the new notice of award for the full four years, but I was also still eligible for four years of award.

Yep, same as everyone else.

I checked out the thread from last year. Several people confirmed they got their CGS changed to a Doctoral Award to take it abroad.

I am in the same boat. I recall having a conversation with a colleague who told me they will just give you the doctoral award instead. Not positive, so am waiting for a reply to my email.

Was wait listed at UBC for history. Offered and accepted April 24.

The book "Fluent Forever" has a good science-based method that uses spaced repetition flashcards, connecting foreign words to memorable images and sounds instead of translations. There is also an affordable website called italki that has fluent tutors or licensed teachers you can Skype with at different hourly rates that range from 10-30 USD in my experience. Far cheaper and more effective than taking a university class.

I accepted an offer today from UBC for their History MA program.

I got an offer from UVic in M.A. History that I have until March 2 to accept. I'm waiting to hear from UBC.
