  1. okay, an fyi, my paperwork was confirmed/finalized as of April 24th, received direct deposit confirmation of $5 May 3rd. I
  2. For those whose award start date was May 1st, anyone been paid yet? I have received their $5 direct deposit confirmation email/deposit but haven't heard any other news.
  3. based on previous years, I think it's about the top 20-25% of people in your committee.
  4. From my understanding, only 148 apps got forwarded from the universities across Canada (+ direct applicants) for committee 196. Is there any stats on how many people applied in the first place at each uni, before they decided who got forwarded? Do you know how many people applied at your uni?
  5. Got my ranking yesterday. Got CGSD3, ranked 9th out of 148 applications, committee 196 psychology. Since my uni is abroad, I will be switched to the PGSD3 automatically. Anyone know how competitive we would have been if we applied to the Vanier? I couldn't because I was abroad. The criteria looks quite similar. I feel though all of this ends up being quite subjective at the end of the day.
  6. haven't received mine either i live abroad
  7. Did you guys receive your ranking via regular snail mail or 'e-mail'? Have yet to hear anything.
  8. congrats to everyone who heard good news. For those of you that didn't, keep your chin-up. If you are pursuing research you're passionate about, then the money or the awards shouldn't matter. I don't want to sound like a broken record, but keep doing you and continue pushing hard for what you believe in. Eventually, the awards will come but if they don't immediately, the fruits of your research is the main award.
  9. Do you have a reference for this? Or is this based on your own statistics? Because if this is true, then being a 'direct' applicant to NSERC has a clear disadvantage if they only have a shot at 10% of the awards. This is not clearly stated on their website (or perhaps I didn't look too hard!) Looking at 2017, only 15 direct applicants (at foreign universities) were awarded a CGSD with a total of 329 available awards...
