Easter Monday is a federal stat holiday -- so I think we can all exhale, knowing we wont hear anything until tomorrow at the earliest!

Happy Easter everyone!  Talk to y'all next week, when this process starts all over again. The analyses of "mid-April" have been fun!  ?

Mid-April could be the middle week of April (or anytime next week).  ?

I think they tried to hold on to "business as usual" as long as they could, but it's reasonable that social distancing as a result of COVID-19 would delay results. At least we have some kind of confirmation that all results will be sent by email in the coming week or two, which we haven't had in previous years. Stay optimistic everyone!

So I wrote an email to NSERC so we can get more information, and here's what I got as answer:
Hello Félix,
Due to the COVID-19 crises the results of the 2020 PGS/CGSD have been delayed normally to mid-April. They will be sent by email.
Thanks,
What I don't understand is they say COVID19 won't impact the release date while they say it is in email.
But anyway, the point is I think we will have to wait again for at least one week. My guess is April 10th or April 13th. 

Let's hope for good news tomorrow!  I still am thinking mid-April is more likely (even though they CLAIM there are no delays).  Let's see...
I wish you all luck!

This is driving me nuts....I suspect we will get some sorts of answers before Easter break. I am constantly checking my NSERC account, this forum and my email almost on a half hourly basis. April is such a vague word. Also I felt like the mid-April wording in the auto-reply is a typo. 

Thanks for the update. I’ve also haven’t received an email and people I know haven’t either.

Of the people that I know that applied (from my unviersity), none of them have received an email yet!  I believe that there is hope that the acceptance emails have not been sent out.
Also, their most recent update says that the results are expected in April.  So maybe this week?
NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships and Canada Graduate Scholarships – Doctoral (PGS/CGS-D)
The release of results from the 2020 PGS/CGS–D competition is proceeding as planned. Results are expected in April. Should delays be experienced, they will be communicated as soon as possible. 

I emailed NSERC.  This is the automated reply:
Thank you for your message to the Scholarships and Fellowships Division of the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC).
Due to the high volume of emails we are currently receiving, our response may be delayed.
NSERC recognizes that the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting students, researchers, and academic institutions across Canada and around the world. As such, timelines for some programs will be modified.
The results release date for the Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s Program (CGS M) will be postponed to mid-April.
The Notifications of Decision for the Canadian Graduate Scholarships–Doctoral (CGS D) / NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships–Doctoral (PGS D) competition will made available to applicants in mid-April, as well as the letters containing rankings and scores in the competition.
Looks like we have to wait another three weeks!
