Let’s all keep each other updated. I might try leaving another voicemail. I never heard back from my first one.
I got the new notice of award for the full four years, but I was also still eligible for four years of award.

Yeah, got only as far as this as well (including the 'new' award number which is exactly the same as my old one). Nothing new uploaded to Extranet yet. I haven't submitted any documents yet - waiting for the thing to actually show up on Extranet with everything outlined.
Yep, same as everyone else.

When I work up the energy to send an email to SSHRC tomorrow, I'm going to mention how rude it is to do this.
I was chatting with a friend who's done a ton of SSHRC adjudicating today, and they said that they give CGS to the top people to try to convince them to come back to a Canadian institution. Technically, I think, we might be able to shop around, say we have funding and switch to a Canadian school (I'd never do this though, love my program!).
I checked out the thread from last year. Several people confirmed they got their CGS changed to a Doctoral Award to take it abroad.

Hello all. I was pretty happy to find out I received an CGS-D; however, I am a second year PhD student at a US school. I shouldn't be eligible for this award: as it can only be held by someone at a Canadian university? I think that they might just award CGS to the top applicants (I scored 6/120 and about 11.4/12). I want to see if anyone else is in this boat? And if anyone knows what I should do? I made it very clear that I was at a US institution when I applied--I've been reviewing my application and it has my US university name all over it. Should I contact SSHRC? Or do you think they will catch their mistake when I accept the offer.... Thanks!
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.
