I'm also waiting for news. Haven't had any emails yet. I'm at UBC.
"waiting for sshrc in a pandemic: a thread." LOL so true.Exactly same. Which committee/dept are you in, if I can ask?

OK my department just emailed me (before I even got an extranet access email). I only read the blurb that popped up on my phone. It contains the word "unfortunately." Oh well.
Edit: I'm at UBC in Committee 1.
I'm so sorry. I'm also mentally preparing to apply again this fall, although my (UBC) dept says there is no news from Grad Studies

Wow. I'm in disbelief. What a bunch of amateur clowns.

I tried calling the nserc technical help number and it won't even ring. Maybe something is wrong with all their stuff?
Just tried to call and it says they are experiencing a high volume of calls

Someone in this thread said that the email SSHRC sent to their department said "All results should be available to students by end of day, Friday, May 1st"
I can't believe they would send different departments different info eeh

As painful as this wait is, though, it's useful to consider it against the normal timespans we deal with. Waiting 24 hours for response to an e-mail is commonplace and even kind of on the low side. We can handle another day or, if it comes to it, even longer. And compared to other things we will wait or have waited for in our lives (medical results for example) this is not so bad.
True, in the big scheme of things of course this is pretty minor. But I do think that if SSHRC was handling this fairly, all the applicants would find out at the same time.

I'm seriously confused, 2500 people is a relatively small number and I don't think it justifies staggering the logins or the Extranet crashing? But then again I'm in social sciences and I don't know the last thing about computers ?

I sent an email and yeah no reply yet. You get an auto-reply that says they will contact you within the next 4 business days.
Nice try

Is there any chance that contacting SSHRC could help clarify the situation? Never been in touch with them directly so i have no idea how responsive they are. Maybe someone in this thread tried to get in touch already

I mean nothing is moving as yet... no updates...no new groups ppl saying they have a notification of a login or whatver.. so it's hard for me to see how these are staggered results.
What are you implying?

Has anyone been able to access the Extranet in the past couple of hours? I'm trying to see if the "forgot password" trick works for me, but I've been refreshing endlessly since this morning and the server is always down ??

I am so happy for those who have received a SSHRC! A serious accomplishment.
But I also can't help but feel like every person who has heard has gotten it, thus giving me this deep sinking feeling No login info still (Sask).
Also there's some selection bias as people who got it are more likely to come back here than people who didn't get it

I actually just heard back from my department regarding my result, but not from SSHRC at all?? So weird. Good luck to all!!
