    I do think they take into consideration the year with which you are applying; first year might not expect that much output? 

    Also I don't think one extra year gives that much time for significant output either but thats just my opinion. Esp when most people are at the coursework / quals stage in the first year to have that much time dedicated to research. 

    I agree. 50% of the application is research ability AND potential. I put a lot of time into my application to try and show the potential since I didn't have any first author papers at the time.

    But that's like 40% of all applicants across years, some of which are applying for the second year and some first. I'm applying in first, so I'm just going to assume it's pretty skewed since you have a year more for research.

    Yes but 2nd year masters and 3rd and 4th year PhD students aren't eligible to apply. After courses and TAing, that doesn't leave a lot of time for people to get ahead in reasearch IMO.

    Wait there are places where you actually see the money from it though? My stipend is higher than the PGS-D, so as I understand it the award would just replace that part of my stipend and I wouldn't actually see a pay increase?

    Yes, from my understanding it's up to your supervisor. Mine will let me keep all of my stipend if I get NSERC so I'm really hoping for it.
