Based on what I've seen so far for overseas-based applicants who got accepted, the location of tenure either says "You will be notified if an award becomes available that can be held at an international institution" or "You are not eligible to hold your award at an international institution." I was wondering if you're in the second case then does this mean you won't be able to hold the award at an international institution even if one becomes available, or that it's plain impossible that one which be held internationally becomes available because of your ranking?
This is confusing because I'm in the latter case ("not eligible to hold the award internationally" as opposed to "will be informed if one becomes available") and when I emailed the NSERC administrators they said "...it is possible that an award that can be held at an international institution may become available. If you choose to accept your offer of award, you will be notified if an award that can be held at an international institution becomes available." which seems like the two different wordings for overseas offers in the acceptance letter really mean the same thing.
Also did anyone who applied from an international institution get an internationally-held award? And did anyone at/will be at a Canadian institution get an international award?
