Adding my info for future years. What I never appreciated was the weights of the three criteria. Something to keep in mind, future applicants.
Congratulations to those who were offered funding. Pay it forward in the future.
To those who did not get funding, it sucks. I am sorry. You will be successful in future endeavours! You either already have or will soon have a PhD ... ! That is already mightily impressive.
To all, never forget that our contributions are more than funding results.

All data will eventually make it into SSHRC's database at https://www.sshrc-crsh.gc.ca/about-au_sujet/facts-faits/index-eng.aspx. Go to and then navigate down to "Competition results" for a full database of results. Doctoral and postdoctoral funding awards are part of the "Talent" category.
