Got my results early this afternoon - offered CGS-D! I'm beyond grateful, literally sobbing right now. My application number starts with 574 and I was in Geosciences (168). 

Bit about me:
A+ average in both PhD and MSc, ~3.7GPA in undergrad. Applied in my second year (didn't have time to apply first year). I've never received NSERC before but did get QEII this year  I've got about 8 combined years of experience as a TA, tutor, research assistant, or field researcher. Three published journal articles, one first author and two second author Two first author articles submitted to peer-reviewed journals Two conference presentations at international conferences (where I won awards) and two at domestic conferences I had a strong equity statement in my proposal I spoke about my political activism/union activism and how that shaped my ability to be a leader - I wasn't sure if talking politics would hurt my application but I guess it didn't!  All my love to anyone else who applied this year and I hope the info I've provided is helpful! 

For those who have the "Error : Access denied" message, contact the tech support for NSERC. They were able to unblock my account (although takes a bit of time). Seems like my results had been there since 11:24 am and here I was still refreshing!

Is there anyone who now has their results but until that point were seeing the "Access denied page" error page? Wondering how serious this is and if my results could be there, but there is a technical problem stopping me from seeing it?

EEEEEEEEK! Just got my results! I received a PGS-D. Was totally not expecting that. Super excited!

Would someone who got their result mind posting a screenshot (with identifying factors blacked out, of course) showing what it looks like when your result is uploaded to extranet? I think it would put a lot of our minds at ease so we can know what to look for! ?

Let's be optimistic. I really wish all the people ( I should say - researchers)  of this forum will receive some good news soon . hope for the best! 

Can't agree enough. I don't actually understand what the point of notifying departments first, but maybe there's a good reason I can't think of. I would ask the faculty about my result, but in all honesty it will be quicker to wait for NSERC to tell me I think haha

Thanks - I definitely agree about this. I am lucky because my department is small and I've made friends with the grad admin. The plus side is that the results will come very very soon. 

I have to admit I find it extremely frustrating that they leave the applicants hanging and don't notify them first. They should be the first to know, in my opinion... it is their award, after all.

Congratulations on your award!!! ?

Depending on the size of your faculty and department - your supervisor might know. Universities can tell students but can't publicize anything: 
"You are welcome to advise your students of their results for the 2021 competition. However, as per NSERC’s request, please do not issue any public statements or press releases until advised to do so by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies."

yeah its been great getting to talk with different people here... 
i cant really concentrate this week too  refactoring code doing assignment and studying half-heartedly... T_T 

This is my first time applying (and last opportunity to apply based on the cutoffs). It's all or nothing for me! I'm feeling so antsy and can't fully focus on anything. 

Good luck everyone! It's been great to be able to vent and chat back and forth with you all. ?
