I'm in the same boat as you three, with a CGS-D award but enrolled at a foreign institution.
I need to "downgrade" to a SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship so I can take up the award.
I emailed and phoned (left a voicemail) Monday night, got the cryptic email the next day, with the link to the instalment form, and a promise for new documents to be uploaded to Extranet. They also gave me a "new" award number with what seems to be a typo in it, and that is pretty much the same as my old award number.
Radio silence since then. Have any of you got anything further?
I know so many people are disappointed and I don't mean this to be complaining, but man, the suspense of getting this award and not being able to use it is really getting me. I'm refreshing every hour.
