I just got my results! No Vanier for me, wishing the rest of you the best of luck
I’m so sorry to hear that! ?
did they send out the results? Or did you get it through ResearchNet? Also can you share your scores if you don’t mind?
-
The scoring system has equal weights to the 3 aspects they're evaluating (Leadership/Academics/Research). The overall score upon which they order the candidates doesn't put more weight on a certain aspect. However, the applications are evaluated holistically, according to them, so they're evaluated in relation to each other.
So my question was would they give more score, in the research score, to research related to COVID-19 over other things? -
Do you think it will change how they evaluate the applications? Or favor applications related to COVID-19?
-
yeah last year it was April 6th. The year before it it was the 1st of April. And even earlier the year before that!
-
Yeah Looks like it! Can y'all just post here once any of you hear something?
-
It's that time of the year again, any news on when is the announcement?

Just heard back, will be declining my offer due to Vanier! Hope this gives someone whose waitlisted some hope! (I was waitlisted last year and all I wanted was someone to post something like this!)
My committee was 187!
I wasn't awarded an offer last year, but I knew people who were waitlisted and would've loved to hear this. So here it is..
I got a PGS-D for committee 201, will also be declining the offer for due to Vanier.
Good luck all!

I'd like to tell you guys that if you weren't fortunate in this round, you can always work on your application and reapply if you're still eligible.
Last year I didn't apply for Vanier, but applied for PGS-D and didn't get it, and I hadn't even started the PhD at the time.
This year, I applied to PGS-D (Didn't hear back yet) and Vanier, and got the Vanier this year.
Some notes, I didn't have any publications, just 1 conference presentation, and 1 conference paper, and 1 Paper submitted (later to be rejected). I scored 5.5 in research potential. However, I always maintained a 4.0 GPA and A+ in courses, so academic excellence was 7.5. However, I spent a lot of time working on the leadership statement and reference letters, which gave me a score of 8.5 in this category, giving me a ranking of 33/178 in NSERC, and being awarded Vanier.
There is hope for all of you out there! you just have to present yourself to them in the statements the way they want to see you!
Best of luck to everyone

I JUST GOT THE EMAIL!!!
-
Did anyone hear anything today?
-
Did you see the announcement made today? Here it is.
It says " In the coming weeks, funding opportunity competition timelines will be modified to reflect the required changes. In the meantime, it can be expected that competition and peer review activities will not take place before July 2020." does this include the Vanier??
-
Did anyone hear anything yet?

Are they being late this year?

I feel like we have no way to predict it.
Does anyone know which date did NSERC tell to people for communicating the results on last year? I think people (at least winners) started getting news on March 29th but did they say there would have news on mid-April like this year? Because if so we could have news very soon.Yeah the auto reply last year said mid-April too. And only the winners got their emails on March 28th. The rest had to wait till they got the snail-mail mid-April

Yes, the automated reply doesn't mention CGS-D/PGS-D as being delayed. Only that resutls will be released mid-Arpil.
In my eyes, a mid-April decision date is a MAJOR delay. This is not 17 weeks since the universities submitted the applications nor 23 weeks since October 17th (the deadline for applications not through an institution). According to the published 'expected' timeline, the results should have been released last week.
Good luck everyone!
The automated reply last year also said the same thing though! i remember the winners received E-mails on the 28th of March, while everyone received the official notification of result in the mail mid-April. I was one of the unfortunate souls who had to wait! So hopefully this year it's the same. They just say that so people wouldn't keep asking them questions.
However, in the official update posted on the website, the one you put the link above, it says that CGS-M is delayed while C/PGS-D is still as is.
Here's to hoping

Latest news release: https://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/Media-Media/NewsRelease-CommuniqueDePresse_eng.asp?ID=1139
Nothing really new.
The latest update posted today says the results are proceeding as planned with no delays. Nothing new still. They said delays will be communicated, but so fat the only delay announcement received is the automated reply you received?
-
Last year the awards were 2 or 3 years depending on how much time you have left. This year it was changed to 3 years only, yet people with 2 years left are still eligible to apply. So I was wondering how would that work? would there be an extra year of funding?
In all cases, this year I'm sure there will be delays given everything that's happening in the world. COVID-19 and all... -
It's about that time of the year again!
Does anyone know what happens if you only have 2 years left in your PhD program? Given that the awards are all 3 years now. -
Then i guess this confirms that anyone who didn't receive an email is either Rejected or waitlisted.

Just now, spin_ice said:
They send an auto reply, no matter who sends them an email. It just says that results were mailed out on March 29th, like the earlier poster said.
I emailed them about accepting the scholarship and got the same reply. It may be a while before they process through the emails.
No the email they sent me wasn't the Automated reply, it was directed to me, short, and with blue text for some reason... but it said the same thing.
"Results of the 2019 PGSD competition were mailed last Friday.
Thanks,
Scholarships and Fellowships Division"

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 emailed them last Friday and they responded this morning saying "We already mailed the results out on Friday" so I don't know what that means...
-
I heard some people also received rejections. I guess there's just a bunch of emails that haven't been sent yet. Trying to make sense of this is futile. From what I gather I think the process is just unorganized.. there's no patterns or anything. Just a chunk of the emails are yet to be sent. I think they sent the first batch of emails even though the rest wasn't done because they were trying to avoid a bunch of angry grad students or institutions saying they were late.

Same. I don’t know who to contact to get the ranking letter though!
