  1. Anyone have the issue of just not being able to get signed in? It won't let me set a password. I've tried to reset as well, and no go. I just keep getting error messages. I'm wondering if it has something to do with that I had an extranet account already? Super frustrating to know my results are there but I can't access them! Edit: After a whole bunch of resets, and switching to Google Chrome and bunch more resets, finally got it to work. No funding for me though.
  2. That is some impressive self-discipline! We appreciate you keeping the group up-to-date. No emails here and my Extranet still showing my 2020 Doctoral results, if that means anything.
  3. That's exactly what my Extranet shows as well, except showing my results from my SSHRC doctoral app/results in 2020. Assuming my new results will show up in the same place but who knows!?!?
  4. I'm right near the beginning of the alphabet for my last name (B) and fairly close for first name (E) and nothing in my Extranet either, so I imagine it's by some other order -maybe by committee? I have kinda given up trying to make sense of SSHRC though
  5. I hate to start things off on a down note, but if anyone on here is also waiting to hear about a Banting, I got my results today and wasn't successful. Fingers crossed for better results for the rest of you who applied!
  6. Sometimes it can be awkward, but sometimes they are focused on their own work and unaware of your situation. My experience has also been as an international student you sometimes have to be a bit more explicit, as they may not know the reality of your situation (like you can't just go look for another job). And honestly, the more you can open up the lines of communication with your supervisor moving forward, the better!
  7. See it now, thanks! I didn't notice there were 3 separate docs at first. Thank you!
  8. Where did you see your scores @psychundergrad? I was successful this year too, also with Committee 4, but my award letter doesn't show my scores.
  9. Just a note of encouragement, as I know the disappointment of being waitlisted. Happened in my 2nd cycle, 3rd time wasn't waitlisted and 4th time was the charm for me Also, in case you're not aware, I was able to email SSHRC the year I was waitlisted and they told me my position on the waitlist, as I believe it's per committee and even per sub-committee. It doesn't necessarily give you the full picture, because who knows who will move up or not, but at least you have an idea. Good luck and in case you don't make it off the waitlist, apply again next year! I'm glad that I didn't give up, even though I was very tempted after Year 2 and 3.
  10. Got my lowest score the the third year that I applied and then in my 4th year, success! So, don't give up! It's not a reflection on you or the importance of your work.
  11. That was my experience - successful on the 4th time I applied. So don't give up
  12. Can I ask where you're seeing your score? I got a CGS-D as well, but my score wasn't included as part of the award letter, poster to extranet. I'm also in Committee 4, and it's my 4 time applying, so I'm just curious about my score.
  13. Fellow international student (from Canada) at a R1 in the US (UW-Madison). What does your supervisor say about the situation? It's in their best interest to make it work for you, so an honest conversation with them might be first step, assuming that's possible. Another option - talk to your union rep, if you haven't yet. They tend to have a good idea of the ins and outs of those offers. Might also be someone at International Student Services that can provide some insight too. Sorry to hear that you're in this situation.
  14. This is one difference between US and Canadian schools. I'm a Canadian in my PhD at a R1 University in the US as well. When they say "tuition remission" in the US, you don't pay any tuition, so the "up to $25,000" is separate from tuition. You do normally pay semester fees (which also covers stuff like using the gym), but in total, I pay around $700/semester for all fees. If I didn't have tuition remission, it'd be $30,000/year for tuition.
  15. Hey - no problem. I'm sending it to my Canadian bank account, but I actually right now am living in Canada and this past academic year have been living/conducting research in Colombia. So, I access my Canadian funds straight from my Canadian account. But, the 2 previous years when we were living in the US and needing Canadian funds, we could send funds very easily through our Canadian account. Obviously, you lose $$ on exchange rates, but unavoidable if you need the funds in US. In terms of other logistics, I just filled in the two forms for accepting the award - the one that gets signed by your university and the Direct Deposit one and emailed them to SSHRC. I think that's it but if I hear of any other steps, I'll let you know.
